Thank you all. I did send her a bariatric podcast that goes into the research and why surgery is appropriate. I’ve also done therapy off and on since high school. What’s difficult is she’s always been thin. So she just thinks you can skip a few meals/eat healthier for a few days/workout more to lose weight. It just isn’t that for everyone. It’s frustrating to get no respect or support on something I know that I want to change about me.

Horrible acid reflux 4 days post op

Something else to keep in mind is to take the pantaprazole on an empty stomach. Let it sit for 30 minutes before you eat or drink anything. It works by stopping acid production but if it’s already stimulated doesn’t work. I have patients that prefer to take prior to bed because it helps with acid while laying down.
