BMI OF 31 AND 35 LB TO LOSE. IS IT WORTH IT?
J@Alabama replied to nssmia's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Go for it! I had Gerd before surgery and it is gone. -
I took all of my pill medication the day after surgery and had no issues. (Did not crush or open)

I had coffee the morning after surgery.

My surgery was done in Birmingham, AL as an outpatient. After surgery, I spent the night in a nearby hotel and the nurse came by and checked on me and then I saw the doctor the next morning before going home. (Surgery on Thursday returned to work on Monday) I didn’t have issues with pain and never took any pain medication. Best decision ever! (Surgery April 2018, down 80lbs)

J@Alabama replied to CESILEYRAE's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I also had my surgery (sleeve and hernia repair) on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. I didn’t take any pain medication. Good luck to you on your journey. (I am one year out and down eighty pounds. I would like to lose twenty more. Then plastic surgery here I come! LOL) -
Be patient. These stalls will happen every so often during your journey. You are doing great!

EGD done, still getting sleeved
J@Alabama replied to J'sJourney's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not necessarily....I had terrible GERD and was sleeved in April 2018. I am doing great. I have only had a couple of acid flare ups. (Ate too late) -
My doctor let me swallow pills the day after my surgery. I take bp meds, Dexilant and vitamins. No issues.

Confronting the "mean girls"
J@Alabama replied to DeeberLee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I work in an office and it is hard to keep secrets. Lol. I didn’t tell anyone before I had surgery but I did tell them a couple of months after. The production workers were even concerned when I started losing weight because they thought I was sick. My work environment is more like family so I didn’t mind the questions. -
It is normal. I cant eat fast either.
