I am going to post the post I posted several pages ago, and then add to it.

I think I fall in to the "downright scary." Hey there. I am three years+ years post op. I don't have a stomach at all...

From your symptoms it sounds suspiciously like a leak. I had one that went untreated by my first surgeon and three+ years later I am still dealing with complications. If you don't get answers from...

You sound like me in the early stages of my saga. If they don't find anything but you're not feeling better KEEP SEARCHING. I had a leak that was SUPER hard to find and three and a half years later I...

I feel your pain! I have had so many serious complications, but I can't drink water without throwing up. It's the only liquid I can't drink. :( I stick with Gatorade or cranberry juice. :/

I think I fall in to the "downright scary." :)Hey there. I am three years+ years post op. I don't have a stomach at all now. I spent the last three years battling severe infections (I went septic due...

Wow. The sentence in your first post when she said, "I clearly wasn't ready for your transition." WHAT?! She obviously has some issues to feel like she has the RIGHT to have ANY opinion on what you...

I don't know where you live, but I have been told I am super good at this kind of thing (honestly, not bragging, just speaking from what I've been told). I *wish* we lived close - I would LOOOOVE to...

Run as fast and as far away as you can from Dr. Curry. I'm not kidding. I barely lived after my surgery and subsequent (lack of) aftercare. I am not kidding. I am now (three years later) under the...

I think most of us wish you luck but will be unable to help since as you can see most of us had to come up with a lot on our own. Mine was also $15,000, not to mention all the major complications...

Well, bummer, I was hoping that would help. I'm so sorry you deal with this. I absolutely hate headaches and migraines are just terrible. :(

Have you ever seen a chiropractor? I don't have daily headaches, but I get them just as frequently as I did prior to the weight loss. One thing that seems different is that domestic red wine used to...

Congratulations on your loss! It is SUCH a wonderful milestone isn't it? Yay for you, and your husband and future.

To the OP, I will say what RRT said about it feeling wonderful is something to...

I know I'm a lady jumping on here, but as I often find my husband clothes I thought I would mention this. I find his at Target pretty often. He is a bigger guy (2X) and I believe Target goes up to 3X.

I know you said DVD, but if you can find a Jazzercise center where you live I would HIGHLY recommend trying it out. It is AMAZING, fun, a good workout, etc. I absolutely love it. I did it even when I...

Marvin, after five surgeries I eventually lost my stomach completely and part of my esophagus. I have a feeding tube in my remnant stomach for fluids, but when I eat it goes directly from mouth, to...

First of all, I'm sorry you have to do this. Second of all, my situation began bad and continued to get worse, so please don't freak out. Third of all, no matter what happens you will be OK in the...

William,

It sounds like you are really struggling, which I am so sorry to hear. The surgery is SUCH a huge change for us and some of it is hard to deal with. I would suggest going to a support...

Sounds like dumping, which can happen at any point. Just be careful of portion size, eat small but frequent meals, and it should go away.

I haven't had the chance to read the other comments, so I will say this with the possibility that it has already been said. I would address what is probably behind the nastiness (which I am sorry you...

I would suggest children's liquid medicine if it is about swallowing a pill.

Niamh - thank you. I think when life becomes unbearable (and I was literally days/hours from death), you have to make a choice to shut off all the what-ifs, the not-fairs, the I-wish-I-had-knows, the...

Honestly I was SO sick before, that like your doctor said my nutrition was amazing after in comparison. Honestly other than fluids I eat REALLY well. I can eat a normal amount of food - normal for...

I had mine converted for even more severe issues than you (not trying to one up or compare, but to comfort). My modified bypass (I don't have a stomach at all due to issues) has been pretty great...

Hey there,

I don't mean to be a killjoy but honestly just a couple of months there was a man in your same situation who refused a c-pap and found a doctor who would do his surgery and he died the...

Long ago I started with the sleeve only to have complications and end up with a modified bypass. I think the most important thing you can do is research who is going to do your surgery and their...
