Wow!! It happened to me also when I ate a pc of fried fish....Never again will I eat fried foods!! Sweating, severe cramps, runs, and it cramped severely for an hr before it passed, once it passed I was ok...it started abt 30 min after I ate!! Baked, boiled, grilled foods are my new friends!!

Im 8 weeks and I was completly healed by 2 weeks also, please call your dr just in case

I had surgery 4/9/2014 the dr told me they would prescribe me omeprazole for 3 months and then after that I would meed to take an over counter acid blocker for 3 months....I have not had reflux pre-sleeve or post sleeve...good luck hope everyone gets better!

I went to costco thinking the premier shakes were still $19.99 for 18 and they were not I was able to get whey Protein shakes for $9.99 for 18 140 calories, 3.5 fat, 8 carbs, 2 sugar and 20 protein. Premier has 160 calories, 3 fat, 4 carbs, 1 sugar and 30 protein. I will try these since they were just $9.99 regular price $20.99 and the Premier are $24.99 Wanted to Share a good deal

No they no longer sell them at the Costco by my house....i need to check and see if Sams carry them! I heard they were good

omg this post has been hilarious!! I absolutely love this forum the good the bad and the uglee!! I don't like all the attention and that's the ONLY thing I am going to miss is being hidden. When you lose weight everyone notices you, like the men will have seen you a million times and will be like excuse have we met? I have a great spouse and I don't like all the attention, stalkers, liars and lurkers approaching me, so for me that is the only thing I miss is being hidden!!

congrats!! I heard Dr Kim is a great dr. I agree with the other ladies, I would go on a liquid diet, dannon light and fit greek yogurt, protein shakes, sugar free jello and plenty of water!! Good luck

I have bcbs anthem. I had a bmi of 40 and I did not have to do the 6 mo weight loss consultation, not sure if it was because I was already banded that they knew I had been trying or not. I did have to have I think 3 test done before being approved.

I take b12 nasal spray once a week, its by Nascobar and is prescribed..I also take Barilife powdered multivitamin which is designed for All weightloss patients, it has everything in it! I take a scoop in the am and a scoop in the pm everyday..

Instant Stomach pains and instant runs

Omg!!! That is soooo sad!! I had a private room and I had to pee every 15-20 min and they un hooked me and walked me to the bathroom measured it and poured it out....im sorry yu had to go through that!!

I was never plus size, at 9 mo pregnant I weighed 192 pounds!! I never lost the pregnancy weight, got bigger and bigger!! My highest weight ever 245

@@mi75 Its funny i had my lapband in 2005 and also was on my cycle!! Lucky me I told the nurse and she made me take off the one i had and put on the hospital undies and pad..she said normally I would not have on any undies!! I did bring my own pads but when i woke up from surgery they had some in the ladies room in a basket for me

Its ok to FEAR THE UNKNOWN.... Im thankful to have found this site it has scared me, motivated me, inspired me, worried me and calmed me!!! I have found this site to be so educating! I have felt just like you!! Im recently sleeved since 4/2014 and have had No complications, i was back to normal on day 3 of being sleeved. I have went from size 16 to 14 in a month! When I run into a stall i find this site to help me and know that its ok and there are others who face the same problems i have

I was on my cycle the day of surgery... The next day it stopped. May i had my cycle and it lasted one day.. It is now June and my cycle last two days!! I have been off BC pills since March, i will start back takin them this month hopefully July will be normal again

How are you? HOpe you are doing ok

I had my port removed and they removed my stomach on the opposite side...I hope you are doing ok, hugs!!

YOu may want to contact your dr and just let them know and see what he/she says

I don't know if its normal but it happen to me...my stomach under the incision where they took my stomach out was numb for almost 2 weeks, one day I noticed it wasn't numb any more. When I went to my 2week check up my dr said my incisions had healed perfectly and they removed my stiches and that I was ok. He told me to be concerned if I had fever, my incisions bruised or oozed.

woohoo, congrats and Great post!!

I went to work after 3 weeks, I sit at a desk for 10-12 hrs a days. Luckily I went back on a Thursday and only worked 8hrs that Thursday and Friday....I got up every 2 hours to stretch my legs and walk around because I started feeling sore by sitting sooo long. That next week I started working 10 hours. I took my 2 15 min breaks, my 30 min lunch and I also took 5min walks every 2 hours. If I sat for a long time I started getting sore...the 3rd week I was working 12 hours a day. I took my snacks everyday, my g2 Gatorade, my water and my protein shakes..my only problem was I had to use the bathroom a lot, anything I ate only stayed on my stomach for an hour so it appeared I was constantly up but luckily my boss is great

@@BrandNewTrina I had my surgery in Dallas with the BArker Bariatrics and my gf had hers with dr Carlton and she liked him and is doing fine....he didn't require her to stay over night at the Richardson surgery center but my dr require everyone to stay over night...you can inbox me if you have any questions and if I can help I will. thanks, everyone has been scared and full of questions...we all fear the unknown because we are human

Good luck!

Wow!! I was banded 2005 and I did good till 2010...for 5 years I never drank carbonated water!! After all my fluid was removed and I gained almost all my weight I started back, the first pepsi was soooo good even though it burned my chest and then came out of my nose!! I decided to drink anothe one with more ice to dilute it and drink it really slow!! I was back to drinking soda 16oz 2x a day or more for the next 4 years 2014 I started my NEW weightloss journey and have not had a soda or any carbonated water in 2014...im now SLEEVED and my dr and nut dont want me drinking carbonation!! I feel so proud to be 6 months carbonation free and 8 weeks sleeved!! Good luck i know its a struggle but we can do it!!

@@ColoEmpressI guess we are all different I cant eat sweets or fried foods!! I will have severe dumping abt an hr later after eating them sweating, sever cramps, heart beating fast and runs!!

Goodluck on everyones journey, its a struggle
