    Re: Problem with post sleeve surgery

    If they're suggesting bypass, it's probably because they feel that your stomach is damaged beyond repair -- whatever the reason.

    I would definitely get a second opinion from a different bariatric...

    Re: Acid reflex and the Sleeve

    My GERD definitely got worse after the sleeve. I didn't have to take anything for it before, but I still have to take omeprazole to keep it under control. It's not that my stomach is producing more...
  4. Re: any recommendation for a fitness band/watch/clip?

    If you have a newer smartphone, chances are it can do most of the stuff that a band can do. iPhone 5S or later has a built in pedometer, Samsung S4 & Note 3 and newer have pedometers that integrate...

    Re: Inland Empire - Southern California

    I'm not sure where Pepper Ave is. Here is the list I worked with when I did mine. I ended up going to the one labeled "Riverside" that is actually in Jurupa Valley.

  7. Re: Gallbladder removed laparoscopically before having VSG

    I had mine out seven weeks before my sleeve. They reused some of the same holes, but they needed a couple more as well.

    Honestly, I don't even notice the scars. The skin is so loose after losing...

    I was told never to NSAIDs. This includes aspirin, btw.

    Re: Equipment opinions wanted

    Personally, I like the elliptical. I find I can push it harder on the elliptical than on other exercises without my feet & legs hurting.

    For strength training, I mostly use some dumbbells I...
  10. Re: what exercise is safe to start with after wls?

    Walking is a good way to start.

    I found that when I wanted to do something more strenuous that the elliptical was easiest on my healing body. I still do elliptical & walking almost every day. I...

  14. Re: Seminar to Surgery Date, how long did it take?

    It varies greatly.

    My medical group had a seminar, then a 12 week course, a psych consult, a consultation with a bariatric physician, two surgical consults and then the surgery. It was about 11...

    Re: What do I need to bring to the hospital?

    Clean underwear, sweat pants/pajama pants, clean socks and slippers or flip-flops. They'll want you to walk after your surgery and the crappy, "no-slip" socks they give you become very uncomfortable...

    Re: B12 forever?

    I do 2500mcg B-12 sublingual three times a week. Since I am taking a multivitamin everyday, it isn't a bother to do the B-12 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday along with the multivitamin.

    My B-12...

    I was walking from day one although not as much as I should've. I started they gym about 4 months out.

  20. Re: What are you eating and are you weighing your food?

    First, make sure you are taking some sort of PPI (Prilosec, etc.) You might be suffering from too much acid in your stomach. Also, make sure you are eating/drinking slowly and chewing thoroughly.

    I wouldn't change anything until you consult with your physician. If you are to reduce your iron intake, you'll want to use a multivitamin without iron. A lot of times these are labeled as vitamins...
