Jersey Nurse

Where are all you January Sleevers 2013 how are you all doing???

Best of Luck to you....we are all here for you. This site answered a lot of questions for me, so ask away!!

AWESOME !! Congrats!!

That sounds like a lot of calories...I am 6 weeks post op and between 600-800 calories a day

My average since surgery is 4lbs a week, I am post op 6 weeks....slow but I feel good its staying off....but I lost more inches....down 2 dress sizes

Thanks then I know now its not me...

I feel like something is stuck though...I wasn't burping and feeling or hearing these noises in my chest and stomach before I hope it goes away....I feel clogged:(

Jersey sleever here....

Hello I am 6 weeks post op and severe reflux had allergic reaction to prevacid taking pepcid only I cant eat or drink or I walk around sounding like a clogged toilet...burpping all the time and bubbling noise coming from my stomach....any suggestions?

Hi Ladies and Gents.... I have been a Nurse for 20 yrs I work in the Emergency Room and recently made the transition to ED Case Manager Sleeved at my Hospital on 1/28/2013 I took off 4 weeks and thought 5 or 6 would have been better. The first week back I was very tired but my hemaglobin was low too. I wish you LUCK....I dont think we are ever fully prepared for this journey.... Nice to have you all to talk too...

I am 6 weeks post op so far so good all of the sudden after advancing my diet I am burping and I hear fluids in my stomach...sounds like a loud clogged toilet.....not kidding...could I be backed up in the stomach with food???

Depends if your surgeon used glue or not...the neosporin will disolve the glue, the glue is holding incision together.....I used nothing until 3 weeks post op then I used antibiotic ointment and now 5 weeks out I use vitamin E.... Hope this helps but ask you Doctor!
