Topic: RE: Do you like garlic? Sunrise Naturals Garlic Snax

These are delicious but be careful about having too many. Both me and my boyfriend have been having GI issues this morning after snacking on these before bed. I suspect it's all the oil in them. Flatulence and minor diarrhea the day after having about 1 serving or less. Thankfully we're working from home today. I love them though, so we will crumble them up to use in lieu of breadcrumbs or crutons on all sorts of things. Just beware having so many at once.

Your doctor may mean that you have to revise to the bypass. Having GERD for several years is very dangerous. It can lead to Barrett's Esophagus which in turn leads to throat cancer.

Topic: RE: Has anyone had a revision or resleeve?

Some of us have gone back to Weigh****chers to deal with regain and stay on track. At the moment it is online or Zoom meetings. I like their program and the accountability. For a while after surgery, it is easy to keep the weight off, but that goes away. I accept that I will have to either be on a diet or weigh more than I want to.

Life is almost back to the normal I expected. Drinking plain water is still a chore. I can drink Fairlife protein shake without any problem but with water, I have to force myself to take the next sip.

Doc approved walks/jogs but no crunches. Afraid I might have extra skin hanging below the belly - what is the secret to avoiding that?

Unless you've had medical tests done that show there's something wrong with your sleeve, then your tool probably works just fine. Dieting didn't work because it never works. You have to change the way you eat permanently. Go back to logging, weighing, and measuring everything you eat. Eat protein first, and cut out all the crap, chances are you'll be able to lose weight.

I'm having severe GERD 6 years out. May have to have a revision to gastric bypass. Just waiting to get the ok. Tough road.

Possible revision from sleeve to gastric bypass because of unbearable reflux. In the process now.

Hello all. I was sleeved in 2011 and was doing o****il I had some tragedies in my life and things drastically changed for me, including my eating habits. I want to get my health back on track now and dieting just isn't working. I'm interested in hearing from some people who have had revision or resleeve surgery. Thanks, Larry

Very helpful! I think it is really important that you achieve good health and maintain it. As for me, I often get some supplements and vitamins from Canadian Pharmacy which help me with it. Have a look there too, maybe you will find it helpful
