Gas X strips dissolve on ur tongue and work fast :) . I was banded in February and I don't have that issue anymore but my first month my Dr said they were a must :)

For long term heartburn I'd recommend Prilosec on a daily basis. I did a lot of Tums early on but for true relief I have to take Prilosec once a day. Realize that Prilosec doesn't work instantly and does its best after it's built up in your system over a couple of days.

Lastly, make sure you know the difference between acid reflux and heartburn. Acid reflux usually happens at night and can be indicative of problems whereas daily heartburn is usually more benign in nature and can be solved with simple OTC solutions.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
