Ok so I had the lap band put in march of 2013. I lost 33 pounds in a year. I have acid reflux so bad I have had so many test done. I have not had a fill in 2 months. I was 183 pounds. I am now 203 pounds. I went to see my surgeon on 9/17 and he said he wants to take the band out and do the sleeve. So now I am just waiting for healthpartners to approve me. My doctor said he thinks they are going to approve me because of all the testing I have had done.

acid reflux bad- take the band out and do the sleeve.

i love, love, love my sleeve :)

don't wanna burst your bubble but

i was told that already having heartburn/acid reflux - this problem will usually continue or get worse

just being honest from what i've heard

someone on the board started off with the lapband - revision to sleeve - finally gastric RN y

finally her heartburn is gone

maybe your situation is different, if doc thinks sleeve is the way to go, great

i would double check about the heartburn situation - since yours is so bad

whatever your choice on which WLS - will be right for you :)

good luck

      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.
