Where can you buy Halo Top Ice Cream? Is it a health food item or can it be bought at General supermarket, Target or Wal-Mart? You've piqued my curiosity. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Mattymatt is right, but remember unless you were going to have a gastro- plication which you weren't you would lose 3/4 of your natural stomach in a VSG and a lot of people have to have them revised to a bypass these days. Go for the Gold standard and only need the single surgery. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Well I'm sorta lay witness to this here, not a doctor or nurse, just another victim. Another name is Incompetent Cardiac Sphincter. Just means the valve there isn't as strong as average. So juices erp out of your stomach, go up the esophagus and irritate it. If it goes on long enough the tissues lining MR Esophagus changes in appearance and consistency and you develop Barrett's Esophagus, this you DO NOT want, it can be a precancerous condition. If you disregard this, let me tell you from my own family. Cousin June-Ellen thought she had bad indigestion, sure she had smoked thru the years, even drank a little. Felt miserable, consulted our local hospital, didn't get any answers, went to OSU hospital, got inconclusive answers, decided to consult Cleveland Clinic, opened her up in an exploratory, she coded on the table but they found advanced stage Esophageal Cancer. Worse Stage Scenario, but she died at 68 in a not very nice way and I still miss her. When I had my EGD done, my gastroenterologist said I had gastritis and a small,ulcer, first thing I asked was"Any sign of Barrett's?" Think I startled him, but I do know I have GERD and wanted to make certain. Another fact: the thinking is now Asthma can be caused by reflux while you sleep. I have asthma too. PS If you have GERD most surgeon's recommend against VSG, it can make it worse whereas RnY will not. Just a little FYI. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Rough to do when you have a sore tum-tum. Use pillows and position yourself the best you can. And say Every Day Every Way I'm getting Better and Better. And you will, you've been through a lot with surgery, makes a dent in your physical and emotional strength but you will make it through to the other side.

Back in my youth, yeah I do remember back then ,my Mama made a little item called No Bake Cookies. It had oatmeal, Peanut Butter and butter and cocoa in a hot sugary base, dropped on a buttered cookie sheet and left to cool. Oh I loved them little critters and was known to Filch,them before they,cooled out. Only took 4 or 5 and then I'd be in the bathroom crying,because they went right through me. She might as well used exlax instead of cocoa from the misery I went through. Did I learn my lesson? Well not too good, I thought maybe it was a bad batch so I had to inspect them a few more times before it sunk n it. Now 1. I'm allergic to chocolate and 2, it would be the last thing needed on a bariatric diet but I remember it well. PS cooked oatmeal also has a laxative effect.

Goody droseman, it is finally going to happen for you. I am so so happy, you've been tested and tried but it is going,to work out. Please keep us updated. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Your partner should be proud and support you in this and I believe when she sees how much you are committed to doing this for your health and family she'll get,on board. I'm 72, don't stay heavy as long as I did. It takes a terrible toll on your body. You say your parents are pushing you, couldn't you also believe they are trying an intervention? Your mother doesn't want her baby to suffer with this weight, she's saying learn before it's too late. I buried a son at 31, not from weight, something totally different, but it is one of the hardest things in life to stand next to your child's grave and wonder if you could have done something different that could have saved them. Honey, she DOES NOT want you to DIE! Please have the surgery and live for yourself as well as them, Shoot I'm crying as I write this. Your life will be much better, you'll be healthier and most important you'll be alive. Please for all of us, I want to watch you succeed in your journey, cause I beleve in you and I know you CAN do it. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
