No, I'm not on medication or anything. From what my friends have said (who had VSG over a year ago), it's called "Sliming". Oooh, fun stuff! It just means you either ate too fast or too much. They said to slooooooooow down and CHEW CHEW CHEW. And be sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. I love how a lot of people call their new stomach "Frankensleeve". It's TRUE!

I have the same problem if something doesn't agree with me or if I've eating a bite more than I should have. I've had to vomit a couple times to feel better. I think my head and sleeve are stil confused. My surgery was on 4-8-14

Thanks for all the suggestions and great advice friends. I solved all my problems by telling my brother (last one to know out of my siblings). I guess I felt the less people knew, the more "normal" I would feel eating. But, he handled it great and my family isn't one to judge and they'll keep my surgery within the family. In fact, my other brother messaged me this morning and asked if he could make me a special Easter Soup? Awwww, so sweet! Anyway, thanks everyone and I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful Easter!

I had a similar reaction and surgery was on April 8th. Tiny blisters, rash. DO NOT USE ACETONE ON THE SKIN. I used baby oil and a cotton ball. MUCH gentler to your tender skin. Incisions still itch like crazy but I assume that means it's healing.

I'm 1 week post-op and here is my first post! Easter is totally stressing me out! I was supposed to go with my in-laws to a restaurant in Chicago but there is NO WAY I can fake my way through that. I decided not to tell my husband's side of the family about my surgery. So now I am going to lie that I have a backache and then head to my sister's house. I have 3 siblings and have shared my surgery with all but 1 of them. Well, now he and his wife are coming over for Easter. GREAT! Now I really have to fake it or just come out and tell my brother and his wife but I don't want to. I want to appear as normal as possible and the fewer people that know about my surgery, the less under a microscope I'll be. After I got home from the hospital in Mexico (Dr. Garcia rocks!), my sister-in-law says....."Hey, skinny-minny! I can already tell you're losing!" Ummmm.........really? *while looking at my bloated belly* ERG! She's sweet as can be but OY, wish I can fast forward 1 month and get through these 3 phases of eating so I can appear normal at the dinner table. Ok, I know this didn't have anything to do with eating ham or not but I had to share. LOL!

I know 4 people who have had surgery from him and I'm going April 8th. So excited but nervous, too!!
