He didn't tell me straight out that I would have it for the rest of my life but to me personally I think cause the stomach has been reduced so drastically and the lap band was chocking it and the the sleeve is the first step of the gastric bypass so honestly I don't know I know this medicine has worked and it was never out of the years offered to me until I meet my weightloss surgeon and now I can eat hot sauce if I want to its really neat go to the website and read about it and see if it could help you and ask your doctor if this could be a possibility for you and if you could have it with out any problems I just know I have spent a ton of money on acid reducers non like this ever I was unsure at first but I was so desperate to feel normal again I did not have reflux until I was banded and it did back off when I was sleeved for me cause I guess I had nothing choking my stomach it did come back not as bad and now with the new meds I feel AWSOME good luck .

Hello I hope this will everybody on the acid reflux problem I too was banded years ago and converted over to sleeve I had acid reflux not as bad and my doctor introduced me to a AWSOME medication for reflux that works better than any over the counter it's dexliant 150 mg one tab a day in the am and it kicks in 2 times a day for acid reflux this drug has been a godsend I was eating tums and Prilosec everything several times a day it was awful until this new medication it's like I never had reflux and it works fast it's not cheap if you don't have insurance you can go to the website www.dexliant.com and get a coupon for 10/20 off it will cost 100 without insurance and I think 20 with but it's well worth the money good luck .

I was sleeved on 11/19/2012 I have lost 40 pounds I have been working out on a treadmill 3 weeks ago for 30 minutes sometimes 2 times a day and I have started to see inches I'm loosing and I feel so much better it's nice to not be out of breath for once it has really helped me I can go to the mall or walk around with out feeling so tired. I started out before surgery 256.6 pounds day of surgery 250.00 I too have hit some stalls when I hit the stalls I up the protien and do 2 times work out and it seems to break it god bless everyone and congrats to everybody on here for all your hard work and accomplishments . It feels good to know we are not alone and it's nice to meet other November sleevers. -
