Nearly 2 months post op and surprised by ME!

[WandaLeaner]

Hey guys, I just came from our local support group and I always feel empowered after me and my sleeve sista's get a chance to talk and work through problems. On Tuesday I meet with my surgeon to have my two month/8 week post op. My highest weight was in August of 2012, and I was 261. When I weighed a couple days ago I was 206!!!! I kept thinking that I would never be that low ever, and to be honest it has been a long long time, and certainly not since high school or even junior high. Chronic acute Heart Burn. The heart burn is brutal and I have so much of it. On double plus meds for it and asking for a change up when I see Dr Pace on Tuesday. I made a decision long before I had the surgery to not ever complain about how I feel, and I really feel no need to cause I feel so much better. I was wearing a 22 this past summer and Im wearing size 14 jeans now and the are too big!
My wedding rings are now 2.25 sizes too big, and my shoes are loose! Been a wild that Disney could never design! Thank you all for your support folks, I don't know how I would do it without you guys!

Wow great news for you. Way to go. I just visited with my chiropractor about my heartburn. She adjusted me and I dont have it near as bad. You might check on that.

Congrats to you!! Sounds like you are well on your way to a healthy new you!! I am anxiously awaiting the summer to get here so it will be time for my surgery!!

Congratulations you have done super! I had my sleeve on Oct. 9th and the biggest discomfort has been my acid reflux. My surgeon doubled my Nexium. But that didn't help. My GI doctor advised me to continue Nexium twice a day and added Uricholine before bedtime. This drug is mostly used for urinary problems, but he said it works well for acid reflux. He was right. I have had no problems with reflux since. Wishing you continued success.

You go girl. Your efforts are paying off.

It is amazing isn't it! You are doing great just need to get the acid under control. But I don't know what to do about that. I have heard that the acid reflux does settle down over time. Hope it goes totally away for you.

Congrats on your success so far!! Just think where you'll be in another 2 months!! Now, I don't have acid reflux, but a while back, someone on here said to eat a couple apple slices before bed and that it helps tremendously. Give it a shot and let us know. Good luck!
