I had this issue when I'deat things I wasn't supposed to eat and with a 40 pound weight gain that's probably your issue as well. The best solution is to change your eating habits back to day 1 if you can and go from there. If you never got in to exercise or physically unable tt hat would also help. Good luck.

@thiklips assuming much? The OP has had considerable complications and didn't post a typical day of eating. Plus we don't know of any other conditions involved.

Perhaps it's true and perhaps not, but you were not any help at all.

OP - post an average day of eating and Fluid intake please. Do you have a support team you can contact - nutritionist, etc?

Hi, I too had my surgery on July 20/2017. I only have a little problem with Acid Reflux once in a while and I realized that it only happens when I eat too fast. As far as the dumping goes, I read in the post op booklet I was given by my surgeon, that happens when we eat too much and unhealthy foods such as high in fat and sugars. I suggest you to have your doctor give you as much information as possible on healthy eating etc but you must stick to the plan or else you'll be very uncomfortable and regain weight. You went through a very drastic surgery to undo it now. I'll be praying for you. Have a great day [emoji120]

@Sosewsue61 Firstly, this person seemed to need a response and I felt pretty bad that no one cared enough to even respond to his post, so I did. Now it's not your place to say whether what I said helped or hurt this person, who died and made you forum boss! I speak the truth from the info. given. People aren't here because people have always been kind to them but I'm a kind person and I'm an honest person and if I can't speak the truth or at least my truth, I say nothing at all. Instead of you criticing my post, Focus your energy on the person in need of a response and deliver some helpful information!

      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.
