I have a trach, tracheomalacia (my airway likes to collapse if it isn't supported), high blood pressure, and I'm bigger (I have a little over 200lbs to lose). I'm looking into bariatric surgery but I'm trying to get opinions from anyone who is either in the process or who has had it.

This already has been discussed with a disgruntled pulmonologist and is pending discussion with other trusted providers as well.

Edit: After surgery what do you use for pain control for daily stuff? I'm normally an ibuprofen girly but I"m reading that you can't do that. I use it for body pain and after trach change pain and just any pain in general. If I couldn't take that I would be a very mean person. Tylenol doesn't do it for me.

Thanks in advance ❤️
