Thanks guys I've been a bit miserable with the reflux I can't lay down after I eat because the food will come up. I too hope it's an easy fix

Hopefully it's something they can get under control for you easily!! Did you have reflux with your band? I've had horrible reflux for years. I'm not counting on that going away, would it be nice if it did! lol I've heard of it going all different ways, better, same and worse! :-/

Has the doc mentioned what he may be able to do for you?! Thinking of you. Last thing any of us need after dealing with a lap band, is trouble after a revision!!

I'm waiting to hear from my bariatric surgeon it takes a couple days for the radiologist to prepare the report.. When I had my revision I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired don't think the repair held up after dropping 50 lbs. we shall see I don't like the feeling of food and liquid coming up when I bend or strain my abs so If I need surgery to fix it then we will go that route..

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
