The thought of surgery scares the crap out of me always has but these updates give me the push I need Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have not had the sleeve surgery yet but I did have gallbladder surgery in 2011. This is true it's like no pain I ever felt & i have 2 kids. It took me 5 ER visits until the fed up emergency Doctor did the ultrasound himself because the techs could not see the stones. They thought I was crazy since I Web Md & diagnosed myself but I was right sometimes you have to go with your gut. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, I was told about a month ago I had an umbilical hernia. This is the reason I decided to have VSG to do both at the same time. I read a lot of people say they had a hiatial hernia but I don't see umbilical ?? Is it not done ?? My first consultation is July 5th. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Kindle, Thanks for the information I really was wondering why some surgeons are against it. This makes sense to avoid bacteria. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dub, You were the first person on here to let me know some surgeons operate on it. I'm hoping to hear mine does. I really don't want to keep going for so many surgeries. Do you think it made recovery harder ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you also have an umbilical hernia ? Did you know about it prior ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yeah I have one. I knew about it ahead of time. I asked him at my first visit if he could fix it. He said no. He only did hiatal hernias Thank you, I'll keep you posted on what my surgeon says Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow , it can stop the surgery! That's hard to hear let's see what they tell me. I can't exercise because of it I was on a exercise routing & made it worse I think so I decided to just have the surgery to help me with the weight loss. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Apple cider vinegar does work. I had horrible reflux. It gave me nausea, constant burping the meds we're giving me horrible migraines so I wanted to go natural. I ordered the apple cider vinegar pills I take 5 a day 2 in the am 2 at night. Over a month & it's been great !! Almost all the way normal. It also helps you go to the bathroom more.

Hello, newbie here too. My 1st consultation is July 5th. How long did it take you to get one ??. I'm 32 from Lehigh valley PA Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, I'm also a newbie to this whole process. I was shocked also to some of the antics on this board. I really thought it would be a more supportive group of people with that being said in less than maybe 4 days I have learned a lot & many people are very informative & supportive of each other.
