I'm almost 1 month Post Op.... I've been experiencing the worse heart Burns... I was told it will get better but the questions is When? Can anyone relate?

Thanks everyone for your input I was taking acid reducer chewable otc but it wasn't working I called my doctor today and right away he prescribed me something ) hope I won't have to take it for too long

Thanks everyone I do take calcium chewables and b12 my Nut told me I can do two a Day which is great because those are the only vitamins I actually really like

I'm the pickiest when it comes to vitamins the nurse at the hospital told me to take flinstones vitamins... Wondering if they are ok and good for you?

My surgery went well it's been 3 weeks and I'm recovering very well... The two lower incisions are the most painful and take the longest to heal but it's not something I can't handle.... My doctor told me I can go back to work on light duty for about 3 weeks and that I can go to the gym... I just have to be careful with my core... I was told that at two months I would feel completely healed... Can't wait ) the toughest thing I'm going through is finding foods I can purée and enjoy as well )

I got my surgery on 4/16 I was very active in the gym prior to surgery... I'm still recovering but being that I had the removal of the lapband and the sleeve done at the same time my body is taking a little longer to recover... My question is When can I start the Gym... I went to see my doctor for a one week post op and of course I forgot to ask like the most important questions... Help thanks

Thank you guys all this info is great... I started going to the gym but only doing 20-30 min walks on the treadmill... I do some leg work outs and arms but Nothing that requires heavy lifting.... I'm being very careful... How ever I find that sitting a lot really hurts my incisions.... I do light exercise and enough resting... It's just weird how after relaxing or resting for too long... That's when I feel sore...

I recently also just had my revision done I'm two weeks post Op.... Although I'm still healing the worse part has been the lower abdominal incisions... As You said itching and pants can be challenging... Ill stick to yoga pants for now... lol so far in very happy with what I've done no regrets.... Soft food recipes?!??... Yes please!!! Good luck w/ your journey

That's great strength training is a little harsh I would be careful or ask before you can start that class... I love them classes btw

Thank you guys one thing is for sure I do is always listen to my body... But just very anxious to start the gym

Every day since surgery I walk what I can... But every time I go Out and walk for a while I get home to feel more pain.... Today I spent all day Out of My house I did walking for a couple hours in the morning at a festival I attended and all though I spent the rest of the day just sitting now I'm in so much pain.... My back aches from only being able to sleep on my back I try laying sitting up a little and flat either way I'm always aching ... My body is definitely still weak but I want to work on building my strength again... The only question is how and when?

I got the surgery 10days ago and I have Not experienced nausea at all that definitely sounds like a problem... Your doctor can prescribe you nausea meds but it seems like your body is reacting to the change... Were you on a liquid diet prior to surgery and if so for how long?

I switched to decaf 2 months prior to surgery... It definitely satisfied me... Although it's decaf coffee there's still some type of caffeine in coffee... I got surgery 10days ago nd I still drink my decAf coffee with skim milk and Splenda... I'm happy and satisfied... You should try it

So much good info thanks everyone )

Hhhhmmm that's weird will have to ask my doctor tomorrow thanks for the info

Thank you guys I will follow orders and continue seeing my doctor as needed

I had the lapband removed and the gastric Sleeve.... It's been almost a week and I'm still in a lot of Pain.... I still need help getting in and out of Bed... How much longer will I feel this way?

Thank you for the info I'm following instructions I haven't been sick to my stomach so far.. just a lot healing pain I see my surgeon tomorrow hopefully everything is ok

Yes I actually started working out before surgery remember when we Lose weight everything goes down lol squats are especially good for the butt your welcome

Have you worked out during the weight loss? There are a lot of work outs that improve the muscles on your butt area

I get mine in less than 48 hrs... I'm nervous and excited.. Preop diet it's probably the toughest to get through but not impossible... I'm going on 7 days of liquids but I feel good nd Cant wait... God luck
