  • I have lost a lot of sleep due to acid reflux. I'm a year out from surgery. Apparently this is very common after Gastric Sleeve. Ask your surgeon for Protonix, a Rx strangth antacid. It helps a lot. They tell me this gets better over time.

  • Truddy6647, don't rely too much on what you like now. And don't go out and stock up on a lot of stuff pre-surgery! Most VSG'ers will tell you that your tastes change after the surgery! Mine sure did! Try unflavored protein powder and all it to whatever you like.
