6 Years on today



Recommended Posts

Hi, my journey started 6 years ago today and up until a couple of months ago all was well, but now I'm having problems, really bad acid reflux to the point im sick , I have to take 90mg of Lansoprasil a day to keep it at bay, the hospital group who I had it done with don't want to know unless I pay £500 for swallow to see what's going on or £150 to have some Fluid taken out!!!, I can eat nearly everything but fluid I'm finding hard to swallow and the gurgling noises I make after drinking is really embarrassing . Any suggestions would be helpful oh and if put on 1.5 stone

Diane,

I am sorry you are having reflux or so it sounds to me. I am at 6 years in April and have been having a few of these issues in the last 6 months but not before. I did need a sm amount of Fluid removed from my band and am doing better but just had it done so no time to say if it will last. I am taking Omeprazole 1 x day. My issue they think began from taking mobic for pain after a neck injury in an auto accident. Praying for your issue to get resolved. Interested in your getting this resolved.

      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.

      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.
