    I have notified Alex and Ken about the chat room issues.

    The Prilosec is OTC. In terms of size, they are a bit smaller than the Nexium Mups. I have no problems swallowing any types of pills, as long as I take them with water.

    I just drink it with water without any problems. In fact, I never dissolved any of my meds after surgery.

    Deb, I also ran out after just two months. At first, I didn't get anything to replace it. But, after a week of major reflux, I had to try something. I tried several things that did not work for me. Then, Elisabeth mentioned trying Prilosec. I did and it works just as well for me as the Nexium did.

    Prospective band to sleeve

    *susan* replied to Bornagainbabe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was walking right after surgery as well. Dr. Aceves advised me to wait on returning to the gym and resuming my full workout schedule until I was six weeks out from surgery.

    Wow, sounds like most everyone is doing well, thanks for the updates. They say the day after surgery is usually the worst, so hopefully Bearded will feel much better tomorrow.

    We just moved into an apartment that was much smaller than our home and have the same issue with carpet. So, I keep my scale in the closet and pull it out once a week to weigh now. I am actually happy about that because I was getting on it every day and the up and down fluctuations drove me crazy.

    Judy, I am sorry you had to postpone your surgery. But, I am sure your mother really needs you and will appreciate having you by her side as she goes through this. You and your entire family are in my thoughts.

    Vegas, that is great news that there is nothing seriously wrong. I am so happy for you. Let us know how bearded does with his surgery. I can't imagine Dr. Campos 40 pounds lighter either. We had our surgery on the same day and he didn't seem all that big to me then. Although, he did say that his weight tended to go up and down a lot due to his families great cooking.

    I am loving my sleeve too

    *susan* replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Nancy, in the past, when I have strayed and have trouble getting back on track, I have done the five day pouch test. It helps get rid of all those carb cravings and gets you going again. Here is the link if you are interested in trying it out: Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

    Hi Amy, and welcome to the forums. One of the great things about the band is even if you fall off the wagon for a bit, it is there ready to get going again whenever you are. Have you checked out our local forums for your area? That would be a good place to post that you are looking for a fill doctor in Nashville, hopefully they will be able to help you find one.

    Good News!!!

    *susan* replied to kaitlynmarie93's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    That is good news! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you that everything works out.
  23. *susan*
    Shasha, it is not terribly unusual to be a bit swollen after a fill, which is why most doctors require you do liquids only for a bit following one. However, if you are unable to even keep sips of fluids down, then it sounds to me like you are probably overfilled. Have you contacted your doctor and told him/her what you are experiencing?

    Glad to hear Agnes is doing well. You, my kind sir, sound like a gem of a husband!

    Post Op Weight Loss

    *susan* replied to Rosebud2's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    I was sleeved at the beginning of April The first month, the weight was literally melting off of me. The second month I pretty much hit a plateau. I wasn't losing anything. Then, all of a sudden it just started coming off again. I didn't do anything different at any point. I think my body was just adjusting to all the changes it was going through.
