Had my sleeve on September9th. I've done so well, not too many problems my first couple weeks.

Now I am back to work, feeling exhausted and I have had two bouts with dumping. NOT FUN AT ALL. Pretty scary as a matter of fact.

I can't sleep more than a couple hours at a time, my headaches are GRIPPING and I have acid reflux all the time. I am a walking burp.

I went to my PCP and he has ordered an MRI with contrast because my headaches are a serious red flag. They wake me up out of a sound sleep and keep me up. I hate fruit things, it makes me gag. Tomato Soup is a saving grace. I did tolerate some mashed potatoes with gravy yesterday. But the day before, dumped after two sips of Soup.< /p>

I know this is a rough spot, but it is frustrating. And being back to work is rough, going home early or calling in sick. Ughhhhhh

Oh man. That sounds horrible. I was also sleeved on the 9th. Hate to hear all the problems you are having. Are you on pepcid? I take it twice a day.

I am praying that things go back to normal and you start feeling better.

I will try Pepcid. I guess I take it no matter what.

It will get better, I know it will and I know I made an excellent choice. Just a stumble I can get up.

Thanks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
