Hi guys! I've been slow to recover and have had lots of issues with nausea since my surgery 4 months ago. I did vitamin patches at first, as I couldn't keep much down, but now I'm switching over to the Vitalady regimens. I'm not going to lie, I'm reall

Hi,

So, first I have to say thank you so much to everyone for all the advice. I'm finally starting to feel better and have stopped throwing up daily! This forum literally got me through the roughest times after surgery.

Now to my new qu

Hi-

I was just wondering if there are any losanges or remedies to help ketosis. Not for the bad breath, but to help with the grossness of waking up with the super sweet taste and having it all day to the point of feeling nauseas. Also

Hey guys,

So overall I'm doing okay. I've lost 53lbs and I'm seeing a therapist, but today I feel like I need to commiserate with other people. I'm about 2 months out and I feel like I'm finding no joy in my weight loss. I feel like I

Hi-

So I'm 7 weeks out of surgery and I will say I'm having a very rough recovery. My doctor is aware and I've had all the tests to see if I have blockages, strictures, etc. It seems I am just one of the lucky few who really struggle. I throw u

Hi-

My doctor thinks my extreme nausea could be caused partially by depression/anxiety. I hate taking more drugs and have NOT had luck on these types of meds in the past. Has anyone tried one called buspirone? How did it work for you? Or other

So, I just got out of the hospital because at about 4 months post op, I started vomiting a lot more and couldn't seem to get liquids if anything to stay down. Including water. So, for the plast 3 days I've been in the hospital having a myriad of tests

I'm having an issue with my best friend over my DS surgery and I was wondering if anyone has any advice. We have been friends for years and I'm her Maid of Honor for her wedding next year. She battles weight issues as well and told me before surgery th

Hi all,

So I'm about 3 weeks out of surgery. Can't lie, it's been hard. Probably more mentally hard, than physically. I was resleeved and switched, so I had an open surgery where my gallbladder and appendix were taken out at the same time. Hone

Hi- I'm on this other forum and this past week a lot of people are sharing about osteoporosis and iron deficiencies causing huge issues later in their lives. Is this inevitable for us DSerd or are there lots of people who took their vitamin s and do no

Hi-

So I got home from the hospital and felt great! Like I had no idea what my worry was for and that my recovery would be a breeze. I knew that was too good to be true, and now I'm feeling a case of the blues. My pain is not terrible

Hi-

Today is my first day at home since surgery and I'm feeling a lot of heartburn since I've been home. Only diet difference has been trying protein shakes. Did anyone experience this and/or have any advice for helping the heartburn?

Hi-

I just got resleeved and switched, and I got the premade vitalady vitamin packs, but I was wondering if anyone had tried vitamin patches to get in their nutrients? It will be awhile before I can get all my vitamins in, so I thought this mig

Hi all,

I'm heading in for surgery tomorrow with Dr. Rabkin. I'm going to be resleeved and switched. I'm very scared, but am hoping for a new and happy start to my life. Thank you for all the help and support in this forum. I will upd

Hi-

I have my surgery in a week and wanted to know what people bought to have at home for their post op diets. I'm looking for recommendations of good protein drinks and mixes for the first couple of weeks. Basically a grocery list su

So, after about 3 years of research and 6 months of insurance issues, I'm finally scheduled to have my revision surgery from VSG to DS on June 30. I will be getting resleeved and it will be an open procedure. Now that's it's scheduled, I feel terrified

Hi,

Just a few quick questions.

1) For those that had open procedures, did they give you a binder of sorts after surgery?

2) Any recommendations on good probiotics? I've tried some in the past and they've upset my stomach.

I posted this on another thread, but felt the need to share it here because I feel it is a larger issue that we can all work together to fix.

I just wanted to say that I used to be on this site 10 years ago and it felt like a completely differe

Hi-

I'm considering going from a VSG to a full DS. My VSG was 9 years ago, so I'm going to have to be resleeved in an open procedure. I'm worried about how painful this might be. In January I dislocated my knee and had to have major knee surger

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has had VSG to DS revision surgery and if you could answer some questions. I'm considering having this surgery with Dr. Rabkin and he has said he'll need to do it as an open procedure and remove my gallbladder
