Gas-X comes in a strip that dissolves in your mouth, cinnamon and mint flavors available. That will help quite a bit. Walk, walk, walk, walk. Hold your arms over your head and move them around. And don't foget the heating pad!! I put mine over wherever the pain was as the moment. The combination of everything will help you tremendously. I can't discount the value of movement. Walk to the mailbox and back if you don't feel like going further. Walk to the corner and back if you can.

I didn't take anything. I just walked alot. Walk Walk Walk Walk! For real...Even if you are walking slowly, you're still walking.

Mine lasted about two weeks but each day it got progressively better. I also had this weird feeling of wanting to burp but I COULDN'T burp at all.

      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.
