Okay so i havent had my sleeve yet, but about 2 months ago i had a huge bout with acid reflux and found out i have a huge hietal hernia and 2 rakes in my throat. I was prescribed a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) Since then I have been amazing and this is coming from severe acid reflux for the last 3 years. Also just avoid certain foods and a pillow to help prop you up at night, for the sore throat and swallowing issues you can also ask about Sulfacrate/Carafate it coats your throat and makes it easier to eat and drink. Best of luck

I have a hietal hernia that is being fixed during my surgery, Im already on a PPI, how did it feel when your hernia redeveloped?

You are so beautifullll, congrats on your amazing results. I neeeeded this postivity this morning with a few weeks of classes left before my surgery. Much Love

This is my first time posting.. I've had depression my whole life no matter what weight, and I know my surgery should help my self esteem but i worried if its going to effect my mental state as a whole. Im extremely worried about my relationships. Im pre-op little over 2 weeks. Super stressed.. anyone else who has dealt with mental health issues consistently and how the surgery changed that?

Thank you all so much! I am well medicated at the moment just stressed out with school i leave the day after my finals finish. My coping mechanisms that are healthy are pretty much nonexistent. But i'm hoping i will figure it out Trying to focus on keeping my GPA whilst in the midst of starting my pre-op diet and making sure all my travel plans are in order is definitely hiking my anxiety up to 11 but i'm really glad i found these forums.

Hey! Fellow College Student, I fly out to go to surgery the day after i finish finals Im not looking forward to the liquid diet fatigue during finals week but I cant skip a semester so this was the only time i could do it. Best of luck. My date is Dec 15th
