  1. I never got the band i have the sleeve but my surgeon group only really advertises the band. They tried to convince me that the band really had no side effects and every time I brought up a lot of the chronic issues i read about they just looked at me like I was crazy. They also sold the sleeve as more dangerous and the band as less drastic. The sleeve was never brought up as an option until I mentioned it. So yes there are surgery centers in 2014 that will sell you the "banddream". If i believed them and got the band I would def sue. But luckily with my experience with doctors I know to take everything they say with a grain of salt and do my own research. A lot of people expect Dr.s to be truthful tho and to have more info than them. Which is a realistic expectation.

    SONIC DIET COKE SLUSH SCAM!

Lol Well this is my last one ever ;( . I knew it tasted waaay to good . Ive managed to stay in ketosis "shrugs" oh well . Back to my old fav snack watermelon.

    Slow weight loss?

    Very welcome:) They are litmus strips that measure the amount of ketones in your urine(you pee on them like a pregnancy test). If you are in ketosis they will be pink to deep purple. As long as you are in ketosis you are burning fat. They are with the glucometers in the diabetic section at the drug store. Sometimes behind the pharmacy counter. Around $11 for a container of 50. I use one every morning when I wake up just to keep me motivated and to warn myself when ive had a little to much fruit or other carbs.

    Slow weight loss?

    No failure ,you are doing fine im 4 mths out and at -52 lbs sw270 ..i exercise 5-4 days and stay in ketosis daily so im doing the best I can. You are closer to goal than others so you will naturally lose slower than a 500lb person. Everyone is different but you will reach goal. Get some ketone strips and test frequently..they keep my mind at ease.

    Vitamins

    Are you post op yet? Beagle lover? We all don't have the same surgeon or NUT so everyone's post op rules will slightly vary. My surgeon said 2 gummies everyday and I will be fine. If my preop levels were off or if I had certain comorbidities my surgeon might have given me different directions. I think as long as you can keep what you are taking down and your blood work comes back good you should be fine.

    Three days after sleeve

    No I didnt throw up or have a headache. Are you dehydrated? Everytime you vomit you must replace what u lost. Keep sipping on water and gatorade or electrolyte water. Dehydration causes those symptoms and lethargy. It can be a vicious cycle once starts. The first few weeks suck. Good luck:)

    Nausea and Heartburn

    Im 4 months out not sure if I can offer much help . My stomach did lots of different things at the beginning. It sounds like heart burn ,your stomach is getting use to processing soft foods. If your antacids aren't working maybe back off of the soft foods and go back to more liquids to get all your nutrients in. Some days my stomach was like "im not eating that" and Id go back to a shake ,then try again the next day. You have to take it day by day and pretty soon your knew tummy will be just like before only smaller. Good luck.
