Your doctor is the best one to ask for this but as far as the reflux, I had it for so long but it stopped IMMEDIATELY after I had the band removed. Hmmmmmm..

I am so sorry that you lost your father.  And this post is a very loving tribute. Hugs!

I am finally done with that crap!  And I love it!! 

I am guilty of trying to use the wrong thinking sometimes.  Maybe, instead of trying to get the sleeve to work with you, try working with the sleeve.  Maybe that will simplify things a bit.

HI Jack,

I too am a former bandster, had mine removed last July and prepping for the Sleeve.  I know where you have been with it and hope your next journey goes much better.  The only thing I have left is the pre-surg. weight loss required by my surgeon.  I have been having a difficult time and finally figured out that, altho I was eating and drinking the right things, I was graing on them more days than not.  Now, I am finally on track.

I wish you well.  :)

Ryan, you were good looking then and HOT now!!  You and your wife make a great lookin couple!  It's so nice to see men on here who were not afraid to take the journey.  Beautiful family!

Try to remember, pork tenderloin, or any pork is very dense.  It is not like hamburger, already processed.  So, not only will it fill you better, it takes longer to digest.

Yup...that about sums it up. Lol. Leave it to the government.

I would meet with the surgeon and get things straightened out.

I am confused - you received 2 - 3 day supplies but stretched them both out to last a week?  That's the first problem right there isn't it?  You were given the pain pills for a reason, not intended to be stretched out.

Flexeril is only a muscle relaxer, not a pain reliever.  Tramadol probably doesn't touch that type of pain.

Please call your doctor for an appointment

Gonna have to go to Costco.

I haven't even finished reading your post and I am telling you, not asking , not advising, TELLING you - RUN!!!!

Get a different, better and healthier surgeon - NOW.  There is nothing more to say here.  Don't even say anything to him, maybe ask for your surgery records.  you don't have to go thru his office I don't think to do this.  Call the medical Records office at the hospital where you had surgery and request a full copy of your bariatric surgery, including all of the surgeons notes.

I think it may be that anyone who has a body altering surgery, goes thru this "what did I do" stage shortly after surgery.

When I had my first knee replacement, I asked myself that question for the first few weeks. And then I stopped.  When I did the second knee 2 years later, I didn't ask, I already knew how soon I would LOVE what I did.

Is it possible that what you need to do for your dog is exacerbating your feelings?  I know how terribly hard it is to do from experience and it may be in the subconscious making everything seem worse.  It certainly would be with me.

HUGS and take it easy on yourself.  You are dealing with more than you realize.

My first thought is maybe you aren't chewing well enough but you say you are.

It sort of seems that your new tummy doesn't like the ham lunchables. I would try some deli ham, a couple slices.  See what happens. Ham has serious nitrates and sodium and lunchables are highly processed.  

Either way, you are not describing foamies. Foamies happen like it does right before you vomit, in your mouth not the tummy. You get a lot of saliva suddenly building up in your mouth. Sometimes, instead of vomiting, I would blow some outrageous bubbles thinking I was going to vomit. To me, that and excess saliva constituted foamies.

See what you are eating that your tummy doesn't like.  Good luck.
