I got weighed in I'm 1 week post op and I'm already 12lbs down . Crazy feeling today was the first time to actually say I had a moment of hungerness but today was gas day mean I was letting it out freely no odor ofcourse but i was let loose. I walked more and less pain I'm actually very happy also with the fact cuz my diet change do I can eat more different and the weather is so beautifully helps a lot with getting my liquid intake going . Good luck everyone I am thankful for this app

My surgery is April15. I too went into this process thinking sleeve, but my doctor changed my mind also due to GERD. Hope you have a safe surgery and a speedy recovery!

How did you find out you had GERD?

I have had incidences of severe indigestion and heart burn. My doc asked me on my initial visit, if I had any incidence of reflux, heartburn, indigestion or gastritis. I told him yes and he said the sleeve has the tendency to increase these symptoms .

well,I've moved my status to post op. I had 4 days in the hospital. A few complications but I am home now. I still can't figure out this site because I'm losing brain cells with the weight loss.lol Just kidding. But I'm not use to these type of sites soI don't know how to respond to certain people that I get email from. When my brain starts functioning again I will figure it out. I do feel like I am in a fog. I have one incision that is quite painful so I need to keep up on my pain meds. It is over though and that is a relief. Well, in some ways it is just beginning. Also, I think it is important to know that after the first few days after surgery, I went up a few pounds. It must be Fluid cause I sure am not eating much. Not hungry either. But I'm forcing myself to get all the liquid down and some Protein in. Best of luck to all of you and I guess I should move to post-op now.

On my way to the hospital for my surgery check in. I'm a little anxious not really nervous yet. I have never had surgery of any kind so i have no idea what to expect. Keep me in your prayers . Good luck everyone! Peace and Blessings:)

hi everyone! hope everyone is having a great time and recovering well! i am 7 days into my pre- op and i have lost 11 pounds. i am doing 3 shakes a day and 80+ ounces of clear fluids. i pee all day! its insane like i feel like im always running to the bathroom with the kiddos. I have 4 days til my surgery is anyone else experiencing irritability and crankiness? every soudn seems louder and smells seems more fragrant. i cook every night for the kids it is torture. last night they wanted to go to the movies so i took them and naturally i hold the youngest's popcorn bc she spills it everytime. the smell of popcorn was tempting me llol. I just learned i could season my broth with is nice but no salt. I am really anxious to just get the surgery oer with and start my healing. i feel like my body is going through such weird changes sometimes im freezing sometimes i feel like im in a suana. but usually always tired and low on patience haha.

good luck everyone!
