What Do You Do When a Craving Hits?
boccob81 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
They will pass. ! I find with the sleeve mind you I am still new since may 30 2014 but with the sleeve I find it is easier to ignore them and then they go away . I remember in 97 how hard it was for me to quit drinking sodas but after about 6 months the cravings started to leave now I don't even think of them .. Look at the cravings like drug with drawl the sooner you stop the maddens the healthier one will be ! -
That's about when I started

It might be stomach acid mimic hunger I have that problem going to talk to the dr on 31 July 2014 . But I take nexium am Pepcid 2 times a day and eat Pepcid complete 2 -3 times a day it seems to help with the hungrier pains to stop but don't know . I do know the stomach acid is no where near what it was at .

I am not complaining but...anyone else have this "problem'?
boccob81 replied to GalileeGal's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I have told a lot of people . I also get positive feed back they all seem happy I chose it since they have all watch me struggle with weight . The problem if you don't tell them the first thing they think is you are dying of something to lose the weight that fast . I had a friend that has not seen me since I was 430 pounds before the band and I dropped a 100 pounds with it before it failed . Well I did not tell him anything and he asked me if I was ok one day and I said yea why he said well u lost a lot of weight really fast .i said yea it great don't you think ? He said well hell yea but how I was not going to tell him but it just game out and he said oh wow glad you did the band . So I asked what he really thought abd he said either illegal drugs or I contracted cancer or something else . So from that point on I just started talking about my weight problem from day one to the sleeve . I get a lot of obese people talking to me about the three choices and why I chose what I chose . You never know who you might be helping with being up front . Don't get me wrong I get how it's no ones business also but I figure I would like people to know . I am almost two months out may 30,2014 of the sleeve surgery and people seem to notice a lot of the weight loss I still have not lol -
Band to sleeve revision and pain
boccob81 replied to teachergal75's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had my revision may 30 2014 I feel great pain wise . I feel the food gets stuck where the band was around . I have a lot of stomach acid that mimics hunger . I sometimes will feel a pain where the port was and it some times feels like it's still there the port that is or something is rock hard some times . -

Nausea and Heartburn
boccob81 replied to Vanessa71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found if I take nexium and Pepcid twice a day and eat Pepcid completes two times a day it puts the acid in check and I stay full . If I just do the nexium and Pepcid I feel the acid and it makes me feel hungry . If I just take my Pepcid twice a day I get real bad heartburn . Hope this info helps I just had my surgery may 30 2014 -

When is a stall no longer a stall?
boccob81 replied to BookWorm's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Here is a question ? If you achieve close to goal weight and stall would it stand to reason it might be hanging skin I am sure there is some kind of weight the skin weighs ? -
