I never had reflux until I had the sleeve. I never ate a lot at one time prior to the sleeve. Didnt eat a lot after. Lost weight, gained it back. Had the RNY. Things are so different this time around.

You're fine!!!! The problem comes in when you have a little pie next time...another drink...macaroni and cheese next week...etc. It's hard to tell your brain no when you do it and get away with it. Today was a holiday. Tomorrow is not. Dont break your nutrition rules tomorrow or it will.be that mich easier to break them this weekend, too! Take it from me! I'm a VSG failure. It worked, I didnt. Keep your eye on the prize- a long term, healthy you!

I take opiate blockers how bad is the pain
NurseNattie replied to Puppycat's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Talk to your doctor. Dont think that just because someone else did good with tylenol you will, too. I had a TAP block and still was in torturous amounts of pain. My surgeon is highly experienced and probably trained many of the other surgeons now practicing. My daughter had surgery and took only one dose of narcotic pain medications afterwards. I had surgery and took roxicodone almost around the clock for 3 weeks. I was still in so much pain I couldn't roll over in bed without help. Your hope may be to not use opioid medications, but you better go in with a backup plan.
