Hey there, I am a bit disappointed that I have not lost more weight. I lost those 50 lbs. in the first 3 months after my surgery. I can’t seem to get under 200, no matter what I try. But, the good...

Hi there,
I did not have a conversion to a sleeve, as this was my first weight loss surgery. But, I have had my sleeve for just over 3 years. Personally, if I were you, I’d consider a gastric...
Hi,
I would talk with your surgeon and mental health provider. I personally would go with the bypass, as it really should help the reflux. I had a Sleeve 3 years ago, and my GERD/reflux has just...
Hi there,
Slow and steady wins the race, and it sounds like you are doing great!
I lost most of my weight quickly, like in the first 3-6 months. I haven't really lost any weight since. My weight...
Hi,
I am very confused as to why your doctor is saying that an endoscopy and a sleeve surgery are pretty much the same thing! For one, an endoscopy is done with just mild sedation, you are in and...
Hi guys,
It's been a bit better, but I see the doctor today anyways. So, I will let you all know how it goes! Thanks!
Hi all,
I am almost a year post-op and I have some weird burping issues going on... LOL
I've been belching almost all day, non-stop and it's really annoying and makes me feel yucky. It's not a...
Hi all,
So I keep hearing people talk about the Keto diet. Can anyone tell me more? What all can you eat, and what is fully eliminated from your diet? Can you recommend any websites or books to help...
Hi,
I didn't experience all the gas pains like many people do. But, I purchased over the counter Phazyme chews. I actually just found the unopened bottle in my cabinet the other day, as I never...
Hi,
I have never been a big drinker, but I do occasionally have a drink with friends. I think I had my first bit of wine about 3 months post-op. I felt like I tolerated it well, although I didn't...
Completely normal at that stage. Hang in there, it does get better! It also took me quite a while before I could actually tell when I was full.I would overdo it at first, and then feel really bloated...
You look awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!!
I love the idea of saving a few bites from dinner to use as your snack. I think I will try that. I usually snack on a P3 or Sargento Balanced Breaks, which...
Hi all,
Not sure if anyone remembers me, as it's been so long since my last post...
I had my surgery in April, so I am almost at 8 months post-op. I am down about 50 pounds from my starting weight...
Hi,
I have suffered from really bad heartburn/reflux GERD for several years. I had my sleeve 4 months ago and my symptoms have been about the same, maybe a bit better now. I still get reflux from...
Hi all,
I have found (and my doctor recommends) that probiotics help more with diarrhea, not so much with constipation... I used to take them a few years ago, because I had horrible diarrhea issues,...
I had bad heartburn before the surgery and I think it's about the same now. It may be a little better, but it still can creep up expectantly! It was a killer last night, but amazingly eating a bit...
Thanks for the collagen tip. I hadn't heard of taking that to help with saggy skin. Is there a particular brand to try? Or a certain strength? Thanks so much!
Best of luck with your surgery! I am sure that it will all go well. Try not to let the nervousness get to you :)
Welcome and best of luck with your surgery!
Congratulations on your weight loss! That is very inspiring indeed!
Keep up the good work :)
Best of luck to you along your journey.
Hi there,
To me, it sounds more like IBS... I've had issues on and off for years, the thing that I've found that helps most is a Fiber supplement. I really like the Fiber Choice chewables. They seem...
I agree with others, the sleeve will not help with boredom eating! I've been battling this off and on since my surgery 3 months ago. I'm fine during the day, but at night I just want to eat one thing...
Hi and welcome. I'm 3 months out from my sleeve surgery and eating slow has been always been and continues to be a struggle. Right after surgery it's a bit easier to eat slow, as you are pretty much...
