Everyone stalls at different times. Its all right it'll come off eventually.😊

You have to retrain yourself to drink very slowly. It is hard at first but you'll get the hang of it!!! It gets easier!!😉

It depends on who you are and your pain tolerance level. I hurt for about a month took lots of pain meds prescribed by the doc and a lot of antacids. I did not feel like myself till about six months later. It just all depends every person's experience is different. But it was well worth it!!!!!

You should be ok just make sure you have enough pain meds in case you start to feel bad. Make sure and keep a lot of antacids in case you start to get heartburn.

The first few weeks are the worst. I remember laying in the hospital bed in pain. It does get better. I am two years out and there are still foods that I miss eating. I would love to eat a piece of fried chicken or a hamburger with tater tots. After the surgery, my body does not like those types of foods anymore. It has been a hard journey but I am much healthier and happier than I have ever been in my whole life. I am able to walk without pain in my knees and I can move around a lot better now.

It is really really really hard the first few months are the worst. I remember my first few months were the worst I would lay there thinking why did I do this to myself???? It was awful at first but it does get better EVERYONE goes through that just try and push through.

I had surgery a year ago and I'm still losing my hair. I cut my hair short and use biotin and collagen shampoo. I makes my hair look a little fuller

Everyone goes through this it is very normal. Just try to stay positive it gets better. A lot of it is fighting through and getting over the hump. It is hard your body has gone through a huge adjustment. 😊

I worked at the hospital for a couple of years nurses and doctors are used to everything. There is nothing that can shock them.😉

The first week is the hardest EVERYONE has regrets your not the only one. Push through stay positive it does get better.

The only one that knows is my husband. I did not tell anyone else. I needed to deal with my own emotions and not with everyone's emotions. Their opinions, what they think, etc......

Pain lasts for a little while. It rises and falls like the sun. It comes and goes like the seasons. Don't let it scare you. Sent from my Z955L using BariatricPal mobile app

I am two months post-op my re-flux was really really really bad after surgery. Now I usually take Omperazole about three times a week it has gotten better. I hope your gets better. Don't let anyone take your hope away it can get better.

You know your body better than anyone else. Just listen to what your body is telling you. Sent from my Z955L using BariatricPal mobile app

I was self pay. Mine was 12,000 all together with hospital, doc, anesthesiologist everything.

The same thing happened to me. My doctor said to take a break from the vitamins for a while. One your stomach heals more try them again.

I applaud you for being vulnerable and telling others. I didn't tell anyone except my husband. I didn't want to hear everyone's opinions. People are always going to have opinions both positive and negative. Try to focus on yourself and do what is best for you.

Your body is still healing, it needs some time to adjust.

Talk to your doctor and see if he can change your diet. You need to mentally prepare yourself. After surgery your life will change forever. It is not going to be easy. All of the good stuff you are used to eating is not going to be an option. If you eat something after surgery you are not suppose to it could make you very very very sick.

My only regret is that I miss warm chocolate chip cookies with a tall glass of milk.

My gas was really bad. I had my husband literally burp me like a baby and rub my back and shoulders. This helped to release some of the gas. For me it took a couple of weeks before the gas pain went away. Hope you feel better soon.

I am 11 days post op after gastric sleeve. I am experiencing lots of heartburn. I am taking 2 Nexiums a day for heart burn. Has anyone experienced really bad heartburn after gastric sleeve? How long is this going to last?

My husband was against me having surgery. I explained to him how my weight was hurting my health and damaging my body. I took him to all my doctor's appointments and educated him about the surgery. He eventually came around and was very supportive. Good luck I wish you well. Sent from my Z955L using BariatricPal mobile app
