I actually had a nurse in a doctor's office (my mother's doctor) say that I was cheating by taking the easy way. WTH!!! Anyone who says something that assinine shouldn't be in the healthcare "business". Doesn't know her head from her "you know what". Just so blessed to have family, friends, & co-worker's support. -

Heartburn/ Acid Reflux
polliwoggle replied to Yadifan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved june 26th-no problem with acid reflux before unless i ate after 6:00pm and didn't wait long enough before bed . . . Not having any problem after surgery but i am still in puree phase . . . I also take prilosec daily . . . I have been told this will be a permanent thing to do (prilosec or something like it) . . . -
How long after vsg & gallbladder removal does the abdominal/stomach area go down? Still seeing & feeling "puffy" 3/4 weeks out . . .

I would do it again-my surgery was 6/26/2017-if you have a problem with the aftertaste of the liquid from the leak test, use a listerine strip . . . that will help . . . also, if you can find gas x strips, use them . . . make sure to walk, walk, walk. and get in as much liquid as you can (post op) The 3rd day and 2nd week seem to be the hardest, once you have made the decision and gotten it done . . . There will be emotional reactions . . . like what have i done to myself, etc., but that is normal . . . this is life changing/altering . . .
