Just to let you know - I also was doing tums the first time and I was told by my doctor that tums does no good at all for our situation. It has to do with the fact that the stomach acid isn't in the pouch? Not sure on all the whys. He said just to drink the pepto bismal/etc to coat the lining of the stomach. I also had stopped going to the surgeon for quite a few years - they were difficult to deal with! They kept telling me that the reason I wasn't losing weight was because I was eating too much and not working out. I showed them that I was working out over 2 hours a day 5-6 times a week, and that THEIR nutritionist kept telling me I wasn't eating enough. But, they didn't believe me and I got tired of being put down. So, I waited too long the first time, which is why I ended up in the emergency room twice. Now, as soon as I started getting the same symptoms with the new band I told them it was time to get the band out - getting esophogeal cancer just to keep my band didn't seem like a good trade off to me!

2.5 Months Post Op Nausea?
Missileer replied to andi0120's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear about the nausea, but I had/have the same problem after four months. The nurses keep telling me to chew my food better, but that isn't the problem. The foods they tell me to eat, I can't. The foods I can tolerate are more carbs and that is bad for me. My wife has had nearly zero nausea since her surgery and mine has been rampant. Each week it's a little better, but there is still problems. I hope it gets better for both of us. -
I'm a day shy of 3 weeks and I'm allowed to have watermelon, but I have to wait for pineapple.

Do you have insurance that approved the sleeve?
cwalker replied to karaserene1985's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I ahve UHC Choice plus and they paid for mine 2 months ago. When you get ur card go to the my uhc website and look under ur benefits.There was a phone number for Bariatric resource services 1-800-936-7246 and they told me of my employers covered it. I was dead in the water until I called them as I had already gone to a seminar and couldnt get anything from insurance so after 3 weeks I called them and it was easy from then on. I had to have a 6 month diet history and a psych eval. If I can help in any way pm me.Carla:biggrin0: -

Right after surgery I was freezing a lot. I would have a sweater on and be under my comforter and still be cold. I think it was my bodies way of dealing with he surgery and drastic weight loss. I still get really cold at certain times but it is more under control now that I am 7 weeks out. Good luck and stay bundled up.

Success/experiences the first month??
RUKidding replied to Agnes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I put myself on a diet one month before surgery. Gave up soda and fast food and started trying Protein drinks. No luck with the Protein Drinks because of allergies. Anyway lost 17lbs month before surgery. I'm 3 weeks out from surgery and I've lost 20 more. Last week I didn't lose anything but I really wasn't taking in enough calories. (350-500 a day) so this week I added calories and the weight has fallen off this week. Lisa -
Success/experiences the first month??
YankeeFanatic replied to Agnes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on june 11th, I lost 30 lbs from May 18th till my surgery on June 11th and as of today I am down a total of 40 lbs (I know it dosent show on my ticker, I cant figure out how to update it LOL). It is very weird I barely eat at all, sometimes I dont even get in three meals a day. I have a optifast shake for breakfeast everyday along with my vitamin and nexium. For lunch I have either soup (can only have about 1/4 of a can) or tunafish with a few crackers, or chilli, or yogurt. For Dinner its pretty much the same as lunch. Some days I dont even have lunch. After dinner I sometimes have a sugar free pudding or ice pop and decaf coffee every night. I am going to start to work out next week (light) just giving my incision one more week to heal a little bit more before I start to excersise a little bit. My first fill is not until August 8th. -
i am 3 months post op today. the first month i lost 20lbs then had my first fill on jan 4 then i lost 12 pounds during that month, now since feb 4th i've only lost 2 lbs so far this month. i have been making some bad choices and i havent been focusing on my protein. im having problems at work and may need to leave so im not very focused right now. today i ate almost a whole personal pan pizza from pizza hut which surprises me because after my first fill i couldnt eat that much, i could only eat 1/2 and i was stuffed. now i can eat more at times. is this normal? did i stretch my stomach? i am going in for a follow up on feb 26. i am so disappointment in myself for getting off track this whole week. andrea

It's really like anything else... If you fall down you get up and keep going. Just because you made bad choices this week doesn't mean it's all over. You're definately gonna have to account for that if the doctor asks. Being honest is going to keep you honest... I have to answer to a dietitian each month so I have learned if I know I have to tell I don't wanna eat it You're doing great. Don't let a slip up get you down!

Having blurry vision isn't unusual for 2-3 weeks after surgery. It may be caused by Fluid / electrolyte shifts or often from the meds given to you while you were in the hospital. A scolopine patch (which often reduces nausea after anesthesia) is notorious for causing blurred vision, but there are other meds which have the same effect. I would mention it to your surgeon and PCP. IMPORTANT: If your blurry vision is accompanied by a severe headache, vision loss or any kind of neurologic defect (think stroke - weakness, numbness, tingling, slurred speech, you should probably seek emergency medical care.

Coffee After Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
kksinisi replied to ajbailey72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not a Dr, only a patient, but I do not think that decaf coffee would do that to you. Do you take BP meds? It could be a drop in BP, which would need an adjustment to your meds. It's fairly common after this surgery, from what I understand. I am almost 8 weeks out and drink full caff coffee with no issues. I would check in with your Dr. as far a blood pressure goes. Good luck to you! -
Coffee After Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
UXgrrl replied to ajbailey72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with the others. I am 4 weeks out and drinking Click Espresso Protein mixed with milk in the morning for Breakfast, which has about 55mg of caffeine (roughly equivalent to a cup of black tea; far cry from my usual 2 cups of fully-leaded coffee pre-op!) Those symptoms sound like dehydration, a Vitamin deficiency or something more sinister. Let us know what they say! -
3 Month Stall Anyone!?
mommy794 replied to Blugirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a stall at almost 4 months out and it lasted 7 weeks, just be patient as you can and it will pass! -
Approved!!! Finally I got the confirmation!!!
SummerDream replied to Gretchel Z's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I only had to do 1 day of liquids before as well. 1 week would have been torture for me back than lol You'll find a lot of doctors do things differently so don't get to concerned about it. And that goes for the post op diet. -
2 weeks post op- blood in my pee (not period) and kidney hurts
babyk posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drink water ALL day long and even through out the night so I don't think I would be dehydrated. Any one else experience this? -
One Week Post Op - What Is This Pain??
Kime-lou replied to newbie9's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same thing and it lasted 6 weeks. Now is it slowly going away and I hardly notice it now. Not only are muscles moved about and stiches put into muscle, a foreign body is now in your body- it takes a while for your body to adjust and realized everything is fine. -
This week I averaged 530 calories a day.

Embarrassing Question - What To Tell Casual Friends
1Day1Life4Now replied to Karen W's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im with you on the privacy thing Karen. I've been on a diet for a few months now and everyone at work is used to it, I took a week off work, called in with the flu so no one would try to stop by and see me. I am 1 week post op and I feel great and am going back to work tomorrow. People can watch how I eat and they will see how I lose weight. The surgery is none of their business. If you have to tell them you had surgery than go with the hiatal hernia and ulcer. They should all understand that. Good luck and happy weight loss. Janet -
Embarrassing Question - What To Tell Casual Friends
Jerziegirl replied to Karen W's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You sounds like me Karen! Lol! My name is Karen, I have a band that has caused me so much reflux that I am having it taken out with a sleeve revision on March 3 too and the doctor is repairing my hernia! Unlike the band where I told almost no one, I have shared my intentions because someone else I work with had a sleeve revision and they are getting tremendous from our coworkers and I decided to draw from that as well. I'm 225 right now and hoping to get to 145. I start 2 weeks of liquids only on Monday! Good luck to you! -
Embarrassing Question - What To Tell Casual Friends
runnergirlsmom replied to Karen W's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I told no one besides my husband. The day before surgery I told the kids I was going in for a hernia operation. And that is what I told my job and family. I took about a week and a half off from work. That was 4 months ago and I'm down 32 pounds (slow loser but that's okay with me) almost half way there, 43 pounds to go. I've been able to do this at my own pace without everyone watching my every bite and not have to talk about it non stop. Not telling was the 2nd best decision I've ever made -
I was sleeved on the 17th. Stopped all diabetes medicines the day of surgery. My sugars have been in the low 100's ever since. I see my endocrinologist next week. So we'll see what she says!
