I had to start with a fix to my esophagus and repair a hernia. Now it's my turn to make this work. Before, the foods I was supposed to eat created acid. So I ate the food that didn't create pain. I gain 40 pounds. Now, moving forward with my new revised tool.
Highest weight presleeve: 281 by the time I had courage to get on the scale.

recorded weight before sleeve: 281
Weight before this procedure: 231
Goal weight: 159 to 161
New year and new plan. Goals set and this time I have help.

I have been through heck. I just go back out the hospital yesterday. I had so much pain in my adornment. I have lost weight. Need to lose more. I am just not sure how to balance it all. "Extremely GERD." I have pills that help me hold food down. However, by not eating I am lossing weight. I have to eat to live! I just wanted to lose weight and be healthy.

My head is all over the place.

What surgery did you have first and what surgery did you have to fix things? I'm having surgery Feb 3rd to fix my acid reflux. I had the sleeve and got an mgb which they said would fix the reflux and now it's worse than ever and I have to get an rny.

My sleeve was done 8/1/14. I had my hernia and esophagus repaired 12/2019. Bypass was the best option. However, not covered by my insurance. I knew this after months of appeals.

Now, my surgeons and other doctors would like me have bypass. However, at this point I am not sure that is my best option. My sleeve is "perfect." I just don't want to have more complications. I just want to get healthier and lose more weight. That is happening because I can again barely eat. So, I am going to wait.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
