FOr the last three days I have had this ache in my stomach, don't know what it is! Could something be stuck? It's not like the usual when something gets stuck in chest feeling it's actually my stomach. Any ideas?

I am still amazed that everyone is not on an acid blocker of some sort! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life.

I was given prilosec at the hospital and a RX for it and I take it everyday. They said I will have to for the rest of my life. I am also shocked to hear you guys weren't.

I take Pepcid but doc said only for 6 months cuz I have a fundoplication. I thought the sleeve patients were the only ones that had to take acid reducers forever?

Same. I was also put on protonix and ulcer meds. It was an ache in my sternum that got way worse when I ate or drank and got bad enough that I wasn't eating

One of the main reasons I had this surgery is because it is supposed to get rid of reflux. Doc said I will be off dexilant (for reflux - proton pump inhibitor) within 2 months and that I shouldnt have to ever take acid reducers. As for your problem, I had the same problem. Doc said I had an irritated stomach and to stop my supplements for 2 days and take my reflux meds (u could try the.prilosec its otc) and go back to Clear Liquids. After 2 days resume supplements and diet. It worked like a charm. Good luck, I hope you feel better.

My doctor put me on Prilosec and said I would have to take it for the rest of my life. I have very little gas and if I do a short walk takes care of that

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
