    Dealing with reflux...tips?

    I'm having a lot of reflux also and my surgery is next week. I have noticed since not eating any dairy for the past 24 hrs my reflux isn't as bad. I think I'm lactose intolerant because tmi I normally have a lot of gas if I eat dairy. So try it without dairy !
  5. Anyone else have Oct 5 as a surgery date ? Looking for pals.

    Feeling somewhat defeated...

    I have gerd and I am taking omprezole 40 mg and today I say my surgeon and now he wants a endoscope test. I'm still having slot of problems with reflux and have a surgery date of oct 5 but today he mentioned that the sleeve may make it worse and maybe change surgery to gastric bypass! I'm afraid of having a bypass it seems really extreme for someone like me who has 70 lbs to lose.
  8. I'm definetly not an expert, but I believe if someone conceives after wls that they become high risk. I do have a lot of experience with having high risk pregnancies though ! I have had 4 children, three being high risk.

    Oct 5 surgery date

    Honestly would you go for the bypass if you only had 70 lbs to lose?
  10. I'm sorry I'm no help but I feel the same way and my surgery is next week too.
  11. I originally signed up for the sleeve but my doctor said the sleeve may make my reflux worse do now he is recommending gastric bypass! Anybody else have this happen ?

    My official surgery date is Oct 5 and now my surgeon maybe changing his recommendation and wanting me to have bypass instead. Having gastric bypass scares me!!

    Tennessee sleevers

    :)I am in Murfreesboro Tn and my Dr Westmoreland. Surgery date Oct 5 2013
  15. Hi, I have been looking at this website since I started with the first seminar June 2013. I was so excited after the seminar, that finally I have found a way to permanently lose weight' instead of the yo-yo diet. I went thru all the hoops of my insurance and had a surgery date of Aug 14th. I went thru the 2 week all liquid diet and the night before I panicked!!! I thought could do this myself since I only had 70 pounds to lose. Wrong!!!! Almost 2 months later I am 5 lbs heavier than i started and now have a new surgery date of Oct 5th. For me after a diet its too easy to go back to eating what I was that put me here in the first place. Good Luck on what you decide!
  16. OMG I am Oct 5th too, I didn't think anyone else's surgeon would be working on Saturday like mine.
