Hey which flavorless protein powder do you like? I just started looking into them.

Hey all, has anyone used the Tespo bariatric vitamins long term? Are you still using them? Has your doctor noticed you being low on any of your vitamins? I'm extremely interested in getting one of these and I know there's a few threads on it already but I'm concerned about how well they work LONG TERM...so I'd like the opinions of people who have used one for a while. Thanks! Also! Does anyone still have a discount code for one? Thanks again! lol.

Hey all, I'm currently in the middle of my pre op testing. Everything was going great until I had my barium test/flouro and they noticed that I had some reflux. fast forward to last week when I had my endoscopy...they found that I have an irregular EG junction, A little bit of reflux where my esophagus and stomach meet, and mild gastritis. I havent gotten the results of the biopsies yet. I never really had much pain from reflux, I would notice it once in a while if I burped, and it only started when I really got heavy. With that being said I havent been able to find much info on what exactly an irregular EG junction is... I was looking to get my VSG surgery the first week of April. Do you think my results would hinder my chances of surgery? I havent had a chance to speak to my doctor yet but this is worrying me. If anyone could share their experience with something like this that would be awesome.

My surgeon said the same, that VSG was the gold standard now too. Im SO confused now!

I'll have to follow up with both doctors and see what they say. I was trying to avoid a bypass because frankly, the thought of rearranging my insides didnt sound too appealing. I was all onboard for the VSG until this came up. I dont know too much about the bypass because it wasnt what my surgeon and I had discussed in length in the beginning. I could be worried over nothing...I dont know any better yet! lol

Do you think having VSG would be an issue for me since I didnt have reflux until about a year or so ago? I wasnt diagnosed with GERD specifically, the doctor who did the test said I just have some reflux. I dont have many of the symptoms that come with GERD. I was really trying to avoid a bypass. I was really hoping the reflux would stop after I lose some weight, as the doctor said it couldve been brought on by all the extra weight.
