Hey Vicki,

I was having heartburn all lastnight too. I think it was the chef salad I had for lunch and the broccoli Soup I had for dinner. I think I may have to do semi soft for a bit until my stomach heals.. I am trying a natural suppliment thats suppose to kill H-pylori called. Mastica (also called mastic gum), it comes in capsule form and I 4 a day. I've only been taking it for about a week and half and it seems to be working. Oh and I also take peptobismal to help coat my stomach..anyways if you keep having the heartburn try prilosec and the peptobismal. That'll "probably" help.

Yvette, how come your not on antibiotics for the h-pylori.

I do take prilosec and tums ultra, but honestly, i dont think the pill make it to my lower stomach where they work.:thumbup:

I decided to try a more natural approach first before using the antibiotics. I think it's working...I did'nt have any heartburn today. I did stick to more softer foods like turkey stuffing, softly cooked string Beans, a little mac&cheese and cranberry sauce....um and brownies and a little pie for dessert:blink::ohmy:

Oh and a glass of white wine..for the anti-oxidents:rolleyes2:

Good thing I did burned some of those calories by doing Contra Dancing (like square dancing). It was fun! Only problem with it was too much spinning..I was dizzy as hell afterwards!:ohmy:

      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.
