paramedic 56 Posted September 27, 2016 You usually can't lift anything over 10-15 pounds for 4-6 weeks. So depends on your doc and work Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivi16 5 Posted September 27, 2016 Hi everyone , I'm getting the sleeve on October 18th . And I was told the sleeve doesn't help people with acid reflux , for some reason the doctor decided for sleeve . Does anyone know if the acid reflux could get better or worse with the sleeve ? Thank you Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App @@vivi16 It depends on the cause of the acid reflux. Do you have a hiatal hernia that will be repaired at the same time? If so - that's probably what's causing the reflux. I have mild reflux (based on my GI Study) and having the Sleeve. My Dr felt there would be no issues. I'm also on the 18th!! good luck!

KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 28, 2016 @@SAL421 It's common to get cold feet. This is a huge decision. I think if you remember the reasons why you started on this journey you'll realize it is the right decision - but only you can decide. I'm scheduled in 20 days and know it's the only decision for me!
