Ouch! You take really good care of yourself you hear!!!! A lot of the worst kinds of problems with this stuff STARTS with an infection. Im not trying to scare you. Just THIS EVENING my Husband and I had an indepth conversation about that VERY THING. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL 911 or your Physician, sooner rather than later. I wouldnt be in an all fired hurry to get it back in either, until I KNOW Im out of the red zone.Please be smart, and heal good! Good luck and I will say a prayer!

WITH COMPLETE SINCERITY, Sandy

      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.
