ok so I am getting this odd sensation in my lower throat... I have never had heart burn or acid reflux before so I have NO IDEA if this is what this is...

it almost feels like a burning feeling... like there is food right there and I might puke... haven't changed anything other than adding in coffee which was approved by nut... but that was at 7 am this morning.. I also had this feeling wake me up in the middle of the night with no coffee for the prior 2 days...

kinda hard to explain...

Could this be acid reflux or heartburn?? or is it the new "I'm hungry"?? I just ate an hour and a half ago...

Can I take tums??

Yup sounds like acid reflux! Fun, isn't it?! Lol Tums should work. Hope it goes away soon; it can be very annoying.

Glad you got something for it. I was talking to a girl, who was walking the halls at the hospital with me that was sleeved same day as I, when I went for my 4 week check up on Thursday. She ended up in the hospital for 10 days because she called the Dr saying she was in pain. Turned out she had acid reflux that went untreated and ended up with a gastric leak... the acid ate right through a staple!! Scary stuff!!!

I was prescribed 40mg of Omeprazole (Priolesec) by my surgeon to take for two full months post-op. I was then allowed to try to go off of it, but immediately stated experiencing reflux, so I went to the over-the-counter dosage of 20mg per day and that has held the reflux at bay. I hope you have similar success with it.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
