Im officially sleeved!



Recommended Posts

I use a pill cutter and cut them in halves or quarters depending on the size and then swallow each piece at least two minutes apart.

I'm so sorry you guys are having trouble, I haven't had any trouble with my pills...and they sent me home with pills the first day! My incisions are fine too, the glue is starting to peel tho!

Hello everyone...to answer the pill questions I had no issue. I just broke them in half (scored already) and took them with a small sip of Water a few minutes apart...I was sleeved on 16 Sep (monday) then on saturday the 21st I stopped my pain pills all together and just took alieve when I needed it. I would say the hardest thing since starting soft foods/puree's is remembering that I have half a stomach and cannot have hte portions I used to have. I wasted alot of food at first and now I am getting the hang of it. Also could not tolerate the sweet Protein Drinks after surgery and found an awesome one at Walmart called Core! its not sweet and its all natural. good luck fellow sleevers!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
