So this is more of a vent than a question. :)

I am sooooo unbelievably tired!!! I have so much to do! It's finals week and I am graduating after being at college for 6 years. I have my last two finals tomorrow (Thursday), and then I have to pack up everything, throw away stuff, and do my white glove all before 11:30 on Friday. Not to mention that I threw up 5 times yesterday (not on purpose!) and I wasn't able to eat anything. Today was the same way.

It's really frustrating because the last thing I ate was at 6:30-ish. I didn't even partake of the "Book Arts Edible Book Challenge" because I was trying to be careful. I keep waking up, feeling a kind of choking/drowning sensation. I don't know if this is reflux or not. :tongue2: I'm sure I need an aspiration, but with insurance/time/need to lose weight, I was wondering if there was anything else I can do to get rid of this besides an aspiration. Unfortunately, my acid reducer medicine is in my car, and I don't want to go get it. Anyway.

Thanks for listening, if there's a possibility that there are some of you listening. :thumbup:

Let me know if you are listening! It makes me happy!

I'm listening! I woke up the other night coughing/choking too. Now ever since then I keep burping acid to the top of my throat (and food if I ate anytime soon). There isn't heartburn for me...just the acid. Dr prescribed prilosec 3 weeks ago because i was having heartburn, but it isn't helping this acid thingy. Hope it goes away for both of us soon! (btw I had an upper GI before the dr prescribed the meds and it showed everything was ok with the band and it was not too tight and that in fact I could use a small fill) So confusing!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
