You have to do what's best for you. I had GERD and I had the sleeve done. I haven't had any heartburn or anything since surgery. I didn't even have the gas pain people speak of after surgery. So, not necessarily you will have had or heartburn after surgery. I think it's just based on you and how you treat you body afterwards.

Hi friends, I really need some encouragement. The scale has not moved in over 2 weeks. I'm really questioning if it's working... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes. I've having a long stall now. It's been 4 weeks and it started after my 3rd week Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome! You look amazing! Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is there anyone that has to take Coumadin because of a blood clot after the sleeve. Is this medication causing weight gain. After sleeve I was losing fairly quickly and then developed a blood clot. Now that I'm taking Coumadin, the scale will not move and i haven't lost anything in roughly 4 weeks. Is this a regular stall so soon after surgery or could it be the medication? Is anyone else in my situation? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They said I would have to be on it 3 to 6 months. I guess the reason I believe it's the Coumadin is because the scale was constantly going down before I had to start taking it. I'm getting my liquids in and my Protein goal everyday and exercising tirelessly and eating correct food. I can't eat too many things with Vitamin K but other than that, no sugar No breads, all the foods I eat are healthy and I have not lost a pound in almost a month. This is why I believe it's the Coumadin. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Really sucks because I want to get the most from my sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok. Thank you. Are you ok Coumadin? It can't be diet because I'm doing every I suppose to do. Hopefully just a natural stall. Just sucks that it's so long! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I was sleeved on 9/29. I am not having pain as far as incisions but having constant pain I think from gas. I've walked everyday several times a day and still no relief. I've even taken the Gas X pill, Is there anyone that is having the same problem? If so, what are you doing or what did you do to make it better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi sleeve buddy. I was also sleeved on 9/29. Question, are you having an issues with gas and bloating in you stomach area? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I kind of had the same question. I'm a little over a week post op. I am not feeling any pain with incisions or anything but just this nagging pain in my abdomen. Does anyone experience this pain or know what it could be? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I was sleeved Sept 29th. It is almost a week later and I am still not able to get my liquids down. I'm so scared something is wrong and scared of getting dehydrated. Is anyone else going through the same thing? I am setting my timer to drink every 10 mins but even a sip of Water makes me feel uncomfortable but I'm still forcing it.

I hope so. Prayers for you. I went and got the sugar free popsicles this morning. And what do you know, half of it was gone before I knew it. Thank you @migalo. But now I feel so full that I can pop! I walked around a little for about 10 mins or more. I am a little more confident that I got that half of popsicle down but still worried about how many fluids I'm not getting.

@@aligator517, did you have bloating and if so. What helps? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm glad I read your post. I am 5 days post op and suppose to go back to work on Monday. Right now, I don't see how. I'm not getting all my fluids in, I'm trying without feeling absolutely miserable. I've been managing my pain well but I'm really sore. He hurts to sit and then get up. Some positions are downright uncomfortable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am getting sleeved Sept. 29th!! I've never had surgery before. I'm so nervous! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I understand totally. I told a couple of my friends that I thought were really my friends and explained that I also am doing this for health reasons and all I got was negative brutal comments. I chose then to not tell anyone else. If they are your friends they would respect your decision whether they agree with it or not. Making you feel bad is not cool at all.

Dr. Kolasch. I think as well is this too drastic but like the advice someone gave above. I think of the end result. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Who is your surgeon? I'm getting sleeved on the 30th with Dr Illan. I'm getting nervous as well. I keep thinking that maybe this is a little to drastic. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
