PokerGuy,

I have not had any problems eating. I'm sorry to hear you are having that problem. If you haven't talked to your doctor about this, I strongly suggest that you do. You probably need...

Greetings All!

I am scheduled for revision surgery on October 30th. I guess I'll be trick or treating in the hospital. My heartburn has continued to worsen. 40mg of omeprazole and 300mg of...

PokerGuy,

I had occasional heatburn but not noticeable reflux. I was on omeprazole 20mg 1x per day post surgery. I tried to taper off it several time over the past year. Each time I tried to...

Ann2,

According to the surgeon, the stomach and esophagus are about the same size now. While the hernia can be repaired, it is likely to reoccur again as there isn't anything to really keep the...

Hello All,

It has been a while since I posted anything. I had my sleeve on May 1, 2016. On the day of my surgery, I weighed in at 304. Before my surgery I topped out at 320. Today I weigh 177....

Hi Mary,

I had my surgery on a Monday morning and I was discharged on a Wednesday morning. I went back to work on Friday. I have a desk job so going to work was not a hardship for me.

I...

Kevin,

That is great news. Congratulations! I hope the next 2 months fly by quickly for you, and I hope your surgery is easy and painless and free of any complications.

It took me a year to...

Kevin,

Great question. I'm only 2 months out, so it was easy for me. I lost 2 pounds over the holiday weekend. I think I'm still in the honeymoon phase. I focused on "protein first" and was...

Melissa,

Yes, I would recommend Match.com and similar dating sites. I met my wife on Match.com almost 14 years ago. You will see some profiles that you just shake your head at, but you will see...

Hello all,

It has been 2 months since I had my surgery. I feel great and the weight loss is continuing. The weight loss is slower than I expected but I think my expectations need adjustment. I'm...

Shirl,

I was pretty boring on my phase II. I enjoyed scrambled egg with green chile for breakfast. Tuna salad with mayo, dill, lemon juice, and some pickle juice was a typical lunch. I also...

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement.

Donna, the hunger has been much better so far. Of course, I'm only 1 day into "normal" eating. I don't know what is coming down the road, but...

Mutated Tummy, I'll do my best to respond. My dietician directed me to eat 3 "meals" and 2 "snacks". I took that to mean I am not supposed to eat anytime I want. Also, on the "soft food" stage my...

Hello to all!

It has been almost 1 month since I had my sleeve. I'm at the doctor's office waiting for my 1 month follow-up appointment. I'm hoping I graduate to real food today. I made it...

Hello,

I had my surgery on Monday, May 2, 2016. Today is Saturday, May 7, 2016, and I'm doing great. I feel fortunate to have had a very easy surgery. I was up and doing laps around the ward...
