I take cymbalta ER. I've had no problems whatsoever! The transition after surgery was great! Good luck!

I tried doing a search before I posted, but all I was coming up with was from lap bankers or sleevers

Anywho. I had my surgery 7.2.12. Recently my GERD has come back with vengeance! I'm taking a Prilosec in the and pm. It hardly seems to touch it. I also cannot poop. I'm on a ton of stuff for that, plus I've been really diligent about getting fibrous foods.

Thinking I need to either contact try surgeon or a gasterontologist. What do you guys think.

I have a boob Job fund, I'd rather been chilly than sweat a bucket....ugh and those night sweats, don't miss them. Now I wear a hoodie to bed, love it! My problem is I'm constantly constipated. I was before my surgery because of the cymbalta I'm on, but it's out of control now. I feel like I'm giving butt birth and I poop out a nugget. It's terrible.....but I'll take my Butt births allllllllll day long for my weight loss.

Sorry...but ONLY 40 pds in a little over 2 months? When ever in your life have you lost that much, that quickly. I had my surgery July 2nd and I'm down 60.... Soooooooooooo, yeah. You are fine. Get used to the stalls...they are normal and are going to happen often. Also rather than weighing yourself, stop...get rid of the scale and rely more on your measurements. I was stalling and could figure it out, but then I dropped a whole pant size.

It's so crazy you just posted this! I had the EXACT same experience tonight! I have been so bound up and tried a half a bottle of the citrate...yikes, right away I was not well. It felt like I was kind of dumping. I wonder if there is a tonnnn of sugar in it to offset the real taste. I don't know...but yeah not doing that again!

I am having the worst time w constipation too! I don't know what to do. I'm taking 1 extra strength colace, 1 mag. Citrate pill a day and a cap of miralax and can only push out a nugget! It's terrible. Also in the last 4 days I did two double doses of milk of mag and a enema. What else can I do!?!?

Thanx everyone....well I made bad choices and over did it! I became sooooooo painfully sick. It was terrible. But boy did I learn my lesson. I had shooting painful craps for about 1.5 hours. I felt like I needed to vomit (and I wanted to)... But all I would do is burp up vomit. Right when I thought I couldn't take it anymore and was making a mental plan to go to the ER... The cramping and vomit burps stopped. I've been fine since...but my tummy needed and still needs to heal so I've been taking it easy today.

Well this is why I had the surgery..ya know? I certainly will NOT be overdoing it again. That was really terrible.

Totally normal!!!  I was on the table, just about to be put under and was freaking out.  Feel free to read my bloggy thing.... it may make you feel better.

 

Good luck, best thing I EVER DID>

You poor thing!  hang in there!  I remember the worst thing about my surgery was my staples... I couldn't imagine having an infection!!!!  THis too shall pass... and trust me it will get better :)

Oh I totally thought she was an RN :)
