So as u all know I just had my sleeve done on the 8th. But what I did not realize is even though i did not have acid reflux before how much this little pill would make such a difference. My stomach stopped from letting me drink Water, broth, or Jello and all I heard was rumble rumble rumble cramp cramp cramp. I go and take this pill and felt relief in 10mins it seems like.

So just remember to take ur acid reflux pill they tell u to get

Hi,

I was sleeved on Jan 2nd. First I got cold and Wednesday I started with diarrhea which made me be admitted to the hospital again because of dehydration. Now, I am back home. Please, don't forget to drink as much as you can because the last 3 days were not fun. Try to keep healthy!

My report time is 6am Monday morning, I will be yes first one of the day. Now for the sad part, I came down with a sore throat and my ears are plugged. I know deep down I will need to cancel my surgery but I am holding out hope things will be better by Sunday. I never thought a cold would keep me de surgery.

ive seen others on here with the same problem. It seems as long as there's no fever it's ok to proceed.

Hi all. Just checking in. I was sleeved on the 8th and home on the 10th. So far I feel pretty good. It's nice to be home.

I went into my sleeve with a cold... they told me I could take zyrtec the nights leading up to the surgery... ultimately, it was up to the radiologist if he would do it or not - and he did... cold and all... so I would just go in as scheduled and see if they will still do it....

Hello! I was sleeved the 9th and came home yesterday and yes it feels so good to begone. My pain is now controlled by extra strength Tylenol. Here is some stuff that may help you guys who have not gone in yet. Things do taste different after surgery to me. Water tastes good to me but Atkins advantage shakes I loved before surgery are awful tasting now. Carnation instant Breakfast is good now. I bought beef bouillon Soup mix from Drs best weight loss and it is delicious very beefy and salty and really good. I bought cappuccinos from them also but all the beverages taste very strong I have to water them down.

When people said they can't get their liquids in I thought it was just swallowing enough but I have had NO hunger since surgery so even Cappuccino and Jello eat isn't easy to get down because I'm not hungry. It's like having no want for any more. I'm still coughing up heavy green junk from my chest. You have to move around soon after surgery and blow into a tube 5 times an hour to keep your lungs able to fill up and keep pneumonia out. I was shocked how much junk I had in my chest after surgery. I slept in a recliner too because of the air trapped in my shoulder it doesn't hurt when I'm in a sitting up position. Anyway it is just a little info that may help someone.
