It’s gotten a lot better the doctor upped it to two pills a day for awhile it’s been no where near as bad as the first week as I’m now almost a month out.

Things are going good right now had really bad heartburn acid reflux which I had before but it’s letting up. Starting to get my hunger back been having protein shakes and cream of chicken broth soup.

My mom has bad diabetes and doesn’t control it like she should it really woke me up the last year or so. My wife is having the surgery in a month so we really will be following it together.

I’ve been big my whole life always at like 290 plus pounds through high school even when I’ve been active I play basketball go to the gym. I had my surgery on Halloween and I’m down to 278 which is the smallest I’ve been since before high school. I wanted to get the surgery as I’ve never had high blood pressure or diabetes or anything. A lot of my family is over weight also.

I think the issue was day two when I went home it seemed ok then got worse once I got home. It wasn’t too bad today so I’m hoping it’s getting better.

No idea I know I had a scope down before because of the reflux nothing to get in the way was seen was what I was told.

They did a scope before to check if everything was ok before surgery was two months ago.

I’m on omeprazale already been for years and the lidocaine oral gel. I’ve researched they do sleeves a lot in people with acid reflux wasn’t uncommon. Mine has just been worse sense it was done. I go back to the doctor Thursday to see if we need to change stuff up. This morning it was bad again.

I had my sleeve on Halloween was wondering if anyone else had there’s around then. I’ve struggled with acid reflux my whole life and it’s been the worst since the surgery they had to put me on oral lidocaine with my gerd medicine. Hopefully it starts to tone down some I ended up having to go back to the hospital on Saturday as it felt like a elephant was on me and I got dizzy. Questions I wanted to ask is anyone else having a issues swallowing things like jello it hurts my throat to eat stuff like my protein shakes Gatorade zero water I’m ok with broth was also bothering it?

Pretty good I had to go bad to the er day three I’ve always had bad acid reflex and it was like a elephant was on my chest and I was dizzy. Still some issues with pain when swallowing with I’m told is common.

I just had my sleeve done Oct 31th so not quite nov but right there.
