How I prevent puking (related to ILLNESS, not band)



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone....

I have been seeing here and there that you have to get unfilled if you get stomach flu...etc. If you are vomiting.

I have taken this for YEARS to PREVENT getting those seasonal bugs that float through the workplace...no colds and no flu. It's like I have a protective forcefield around me...everyone is dropping like flies getting sick and I am not. It strengthens your immune system.

ACIDOPHILUS 4 X 6 BILLION 60 CAPS - NOW FOODS - Code 2920

You can get it at most major grocery stores (has to be refrigerated) and it's rather cheap too. I follow the dosing instruction on the bottle but when I get in to flu season and people are getting sick around me I bump up my dose...I double the dose and take it more than once a day too.

Thought I would share...and seriously...haven't puked in YEARS. :)

Have a great day!

Thanks for the info.

I actually started taking [a different brand] just before surgery. I was just taking it initially to get my intestines back on track after having a ummm, diarrhea episode (sorry!). Then I figured after surgery, I should go back on them to ensure intestinal health after all the liquids, surgical fluids and meds.

I didn't know that being on them could help with intestinal illnesses. My biggest fear now is getting the stomach flu! I'll be getting a flu shot again this year too.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
