Awww, honey, I'm so sorry about your friend. Can you at least tolerate liquids? Keep hydrated.

(((HUG)))

Go straight back on to liquids- your body is shocked. If you can't tolerate liquids get an unfill.

It's going to sound gross, but crying a lot, can make mucus that goes down the back of your throat. Yeah, that in addition to being really upset.

You'll make it through, don't forget to take care of yourself now. HUGS

do you mean it wont let you eat at all or the junk you use to when u got upset? If you cant get anything down you probably should see your doctor you dont want to get stuck or sick yourself, if it wont let you eat the junk you use to out of stress then that is a good thing but drink a lot and turn to proient drinks for your health so you can be there for your friend...I am so sorry for you worries and hugs to you and your friend.

I'm much better I think it was the stress and I am even coping better with the emotion of my friend because I'm not eating on my emotions.

      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.
