I had this issue when I'deat things I wasn't supposed to eat and with a 40 pound weight gain that's probably your issue as well. The best solution is to change your eating habits back to day 1 if you can and go from there. If you never got in to exercise or physically unable tt hat would also help. Good luck.

@thiklips assuming much? The OP has had considerable complications and didn't post a typical day of eating. Plus we don't know of any other conditions involved.

Perhaps it's true and perhaps not, but you were not any help at all.

OP - post an average day of eating and Fluid intake please. Do you have a support team you can contact - nutritionist, etc?

Hi, I too had my surgery on July 20/2017. I only have a little problem with Acid Reflux once in a while and I realized that it only happens when I eat too fast. As far as the dumping goes, I read in the post op booklet I was given by my surgeon, that happens when we eat too much and unhealthy foods such as high in fat and sugars. I suggest you to have your doctor give you as much information as possible on healthy eating etc but you must stick to the plan or else you'll be very uncomfortable and regain weight. You went through a very drastic surgery to undo it now. I'll be praying for you. Have a great day [emoji120]

@Sosewsue61 Firstly, this person seemed to need a response and I felt pretty bad that no one cared enough to even respond to his post, so I did. Now it's not your place to say whether what I said helped or hurt this person, who died and made you forum boss! I speak the truth from the info. given. People aren't here because people have always been kind to them but I'm a kind person and I'm an honest person and if I can't speak the truth or at least my truth, I say nothing at all. Instead of you criticing my post, Focus your energy on the person in need of a response and deliver some helpful information!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
