@@finediva You have went from a size 26 to a 14? That is awesome!! Congrats!! You havent bought any new clothes? I went from 16 to size 12 and I cant even put on my size 16 pants saggn, falling off even with a belt!

I dont know that my dr used anything..... But maybe she did!! My stomach was numb on my right side where they removed my band and stomach. Numb for over a week. I did not have any pain in my incisions, I didnt have any pain at all! I too woke up with a lil gas pain in my shoulder/back as soon as i took the gasx it went away!

I do not think any WLS patients supposed to eat and drink.

I will do the survey

Welcome!! Im an African American Band to Sleeve as well!! Stay focused and remember its mind over matter!! We got this!!

I ONLY. Had your #1 issue!! I went to pee every 1-2 hours from all the fluids!! Gained 11 pounds in a 24 hr hospital stay from all the fluids No other issues and no pain except gas for abt 20 min

Mine say open capsule, i pour the beads in a spoon and swallow them

I am band to sleeve...banded 2005 revision 2014...been sleeved for 3 months 4/9 and have lost 40 pounds since surgery...lost 77 pounds with the band and gained 70 back, took me a yr to lose 77 and maintained for 4 years then the complications started fiils/unfiils vomitting, gerd, stuck food, chest pain and weight gain!! My dr said revision patients tend to lose slower and thats fine im very happy with my sleeve and no complications and my weight loss im happy abt!

My dr said mininum 60 grams of protein and no more than 60 carbs he told me not to focus on calories but i dont eat over 800 and thats not intentional

Thats a question yu might should ask the dr, i had on leg compressions from ankle to knee and they sent me home for two weeks with the leg compression machine!

My dr told me start one month before surgery to start taking them

I wasnt told not to eat salads and I have one 3-4 days a week. I was told not eat a salad until i got to solids. I eat abt 1/2 cup sometimes less, but i measure 1/2 cup

Yes i use barilife powdered vitamins...2 scoops a day...i have been using it for 4 months now

The bag of the sample should tell you how much to use....my samples were individual packages and you used the whole package. I prefer to use water ( no calories, no carbs) I also use almond milk. After surgery you may or may not be able to tolerate regular milk.

I have DUMPED, it is not impossible to dump!! I ate a piece of fried fish and immediately after eating 3oz of fried fish I began to sweat, have severe cramping and chills for abt 45 min...I called my dr and told them what was going on and they told me I was having dumping syndrome and that I probably would have diarreha in the next 1-2 hours....It was an hour later and i was in the bathroom, once I used the bathroom i was fine. My dr told me greasy foods and foods high in sugar can cause me to dump same as sugar cause my sister who is a gastric bypass patient to dump! I have NEVER had fried foods again and I have not dumped again

Had surgery on Wed morning and was released thursday at 1pm...i am band to sleeve no other repairs
