How is your daughter doing SSOURGIRL?

What alternative methods or meds have assisted everyone with GERD, Gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying)? I have been suffering horribly this last month (6 mos out from surgery). I am not keeping anything down. I am taking Protonix and Reglan which are not helping.

I was sleeved this year March 2015. I am suffering horribly with Gastroparesis. The meds Protonix and Reglan are not working for me. I am to the point where nothing is staying down. I received four bags of saline so far for dehydration. I see my surgeon and gastronologist this Tuesday and am hoping there is some resolution other than a feeding tube. The bariatric nurse said the cases she has seen it goes away if you acquired GP PO which is my case. Any information would be very helpful. I hope you found a resolution to your situation.

Did anyone develop Gastroparesis after Vertical Sleeve surgery? If so, how was it resolved?? Thanks!

For those VSG patients with gastroparesis after VSG, what was the resolution to fix the problem?

I am feeling good about my exercise.:eek: I am up to 45 minutes of walking which is about 2.6 miles. I did this Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I also starting doing 4 reps of 20 on the barbell with 10 lbs. My arms really hurt after wards. I did 100 sit ups with my ab roller. Yesterday I was working in the yard for 2 hours. Today I am going to work and no exercise...my body is tired! This exercise is good for someone who never liked to walk. I use to do weights at 24 hour Fitness about 6 years ago, but have not done them since. My arms have paid the price! :wink: Also, I am loving Greek yogart which is 22 protein for 1 cup.:smile2: It is so good! I add Splenda to sweeten it and add blueberries, peaches and cinnamon. Yummmy! I saw where BetsyB tracks on FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal, so I am tracking there also. A great tool!!!!!!! I thought I was eating more protein than carbs, but not always the case. It tells you the fats, carbs, proteins percentages.

Sandy, I know, doesn't it feel good to be in control and not turn to food! I have my stress now under control....also, with working out (walking, ellyptical, heavy yardwork) that really helps too! Good milestone! Keep it up! Terri

Thanks Sandradee for the encouragement! I have to say, what I love about the band is if you keep on course, the weight will not come back on like the yo-yo diet. It is so worth it!

Today was my 4th fill (.5 CC) and I lost another 5 lbs., a total of 40 lbs. I can still eat a large quantity of food at a sitting. I would prefer to loose a little faster, but I am happy with what I have done. I need to walk more than 1 mile (30 min). I read where you need to walk 2 miles to start burning fat vs glucose. I am going to kick it up a notch. When I do the ellyptical, 30 minutes kicks my butt at 4.4 and Level 2, so not sure if I can do anymore on that yet. I sure feel a bunch better! I can work in the yard for 5 hours - exhausted, but can do it again. I no longer SLOG around. Life is good! Can't wait to feel under 200 lbs. Wanted to add some more experiences with this fill. - Mixed nuts did not work for me!!!! I ended up with major stuck/pain/vomit. I used meat tenderizer and then eventually it cleared. Also tortilla chips. I had them in mexican restaurants - no prob last fill????
