Question about my esophagus
NjGirlInNcWorld replied to dcoral's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Did you have the hernia repair? It seems most ppl with the repair have the pain and spasms as side effect. I have it also, i take my meds which help somewhat. Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App -
UNC or Duke for surgery?

I have the sleeve. I changed my mind at the last minute. I was originally set to get the bypass, but as I continued to research both it seemed that the sleeve was a better choice for me. Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App -

Passaic County and now Durham. We aren't that far. Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App NJGirl, I just read in another thread that you used Duke and Dr. Yoo....I was assigned Dr. Yoo, too. Did you like him as a surgeon? Were you happy with Duke overall? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Hi. Yes I was very satisfied with Dr. YOO and his team. The night crew(nurses) was the best, so attentive.

I also had mine in 5/25 and I have been experiencing the spasms since day 1. My dr gave me diazepam which i take every 8 hrs. It helps with the spasms but it will still hurt when u swallow your food and once it reaches your belly. Its not a cure all, but better than feeling every single spasm.

Gastric sleeve with hiatal hernia
NjGirlInNcWorld posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, new to all of this. Surgery was 5/25, also had hernia operation which kept me in the hospital longer. Was in hospital 2 weeks b4 for pain similar to heart attack. (It had to be the hernia ) Still sore. Is the phase 1 eating schedule the same as if i didn't have the hernia? Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App -
Thank you. I think i was dehydrated the first night home because i had two separate migraines that night. Dr on call said i needed more Fluid and to add gatorade. But i am not still getting much down. Everything spasms on The way down. Not a good incentive to eat or drink. Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App

Surgery was also on 5/25 with hernia repair. Still having spasms and pain. I haven't worked up to 64 oz, i doubt even 20 oz. I really need to get on that. I haven't lost any weight. What am i doing wrong? Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App
