My surgery was 9/7/12 and before that I never took Tylenol for anything. My Gas X strips, Tylenol and hot green tea helped. Most of your pain is probably gas...I learned that being on LBT. Hope you feel better soon. Come on over to My Fitness Pal for more help and support.

I just took the Extra Strength Tylenol. And please use Fitness Pal now. Most people there may only be a few weeks ahead of you. You can start reading their food diaries and learn alot. Wish I knew about them before my surgery. Gonna add you today! gonna ask my people to add you too. Feel free to forward me as well. Darkangel321

That pain you are feeling is from the gas buildup. Tylenol won't help, but Gas X will. Just keep moving around and get the gas absorbed.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
