So I’m / weeks late for my period . And it came on today. A few hours later I woke up from a nap and this piercing and stabbing pain I never felt before happen. It was quick and as of right now only 1 time . I know my hormones are going to be crazy but HOLY shit .! it woke me up out my sleep.

i have anthem bcbs . Hey , Before i started this process i didnt have a PCP. I went to anthem website found a PCP threw them called and scheduled. I told my dr what im doing and he agreed surgery is whats best. With in 2 days my NEW pcp sent my medial necessity form to my bariatric center . Let me know if you have questions i just had my surgery 5/6/2019

Congrats!!!!

I'm surprised they didn't tell you that. I had GERD even before surgery, so my surgeon recommended RNY due to that. But not everyone who gets the sleeve has GERD issues - and sometimes it does go away after awhile.

No , I use to have heart burn but thats because i would eat stupid stuff like pizza in the morning. But this feeling makes me feel like my chest is about to explode. I hope the feeling does go away.

Both my wife and I had sleeve surgery in 2013. She has acid reflux constantly and I have sour stomach no matter what I eat. Side effect of the surgery. Not a big fan of sleeve surgery but, too late now.

Mine was pretty intense right after I started solid and continued for about a month, then it went away and I haven't had acid reflux or GERD since then.

I hope this isnt a life long issue. It makes me not what to consume anything at all.

yes - that can be a side effect of the sleeve. It may go away (you're still pretty early out), but then again, it might not.

oh my . This is one of the things i wish i knew before surgery

Hey all, I just had surgery on 5/6. I lost 20 Pounds. ! Everything has been going perfect. Except the heart burn. if i drink Water or anything my chest immediately catches on fire lol . I just started taking the 1 tablet a day the DR prescribed but honestly is this forever?

So glad to hear that you're doing well! Things here are good too, considering it's only been 4 days. Not hitting my Fluid or Protein targets yet, but getting a bit closer every day. Pain is minimal. Thinking I'll switch to regular tylenol today if I need it. Congrats on the 20lbs already! That's so incredible!

We got this!

Thank you!! My dr said your first month they have a goal . But realistically Most can reach it . Just do as much as you can and take your Vitamins youll be fine! My pain has calmed down a lot. My pain mostly comes from heart burn and acid reflux from Water lol

I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks!

Hello all , Sorry i have been gone. Just recovering and getting us to my new tool.

I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks! I went from a 3x starting my journey to a 1x post surgery!!!!!

My hardest part is getting fluids down . Omg it hurts so bad . I’m trying my best to get in as much as I can.! My doctor said 80 oz a day . PHHHT he better be happy I’m sipping 30 oz a day. I’m happy it’s over tho . But don’t let ppl fool the pain is real .!

Omg guys . Sorry I’ve been gone but the recovery process is real . I could barely keep my eyes open and when I did it headed for the bathroom and a few laps in my yard then back to sleep . Now I’m sitting on the edge of my bed at 2:00 am can’t sleep and listening to my stomach cursing me out

Surgery is today , I didn’t have a RNY but I’m having the sleeve . CW 285

Hi everyone , today the day I’m on my way to the hospital and I’m super nervous !!!

On the way to the hospital.

Today I get my Tool installed and as I type this I’m crying tears of joy . Pray for me

I had an initial euphoria right away. I already suffer from anxiety and depression and am on medication for it. I did experience some blues, if you will, a few weeks in before I could begin to eat real food. it does pass. Hang in there. I just joined the Facebook group as well!

SO its normal?

I just dont want to have a feeling of regret. Im already depressed about my best friend Passing. Which the psych eval Dr said that's normal with grief!

The group is amazing more effective. Questions get answered a lot quickly

I was thinking about geting the zozo suit for my measurements but im sure My granny can help me . Someone said if i have a stall dont worry about it my body is working on my inches instead of weight .

My surgery is Monday and i have some concerns!

Now i do read all the success stories so you dont have to give me that whole spill about look at the good and not the bad. I dont want to hear it. I've been following a lot of people who has had surgery before or just had surgery within the last 2 months and right after surgery. People start to feel emptiness and sad and it seems like heavy depression. When does that pass and how do you cope?

I really love bariatricpal facebok group .

Never had whataburger (don't have them here), but popcorn is my weakness and it's not on my pre-op diet at all. That hasn't stopped me from having some a couple of times in the last couple of weeks though. Thankfully the only popcorn we have left in our house is a package of microwave popcorn, which I find revolting.

Today is my last day on my hybrid diet. No more food funerals for me. Time to buckle down.
