At church tonight, I had just the meat from a grilled hamburger that had Dale's seasonings on it. Now I have gas so bad I can't move it. Can I take a rolaids or pepto bismol??????:cursing:

Someone please hurry with an answer. It late and I need to go to bed. I can't walk all night.:thumbup:

You can take Gas-X. I don't know about the Pepto. I think it has aspirin and I think that is a no-no. I think the rolaids is like Gas-X and should be okay.

However, I have been filled with gas a few times and the only thing that worked for my was a heating pad. I know it is so painful. I would have never believed that a heating pad would work but it did. I hope you feel better.

You may want to check with your Dr in the A.M. so if it happens again you have some choices. By the way its NSAIDS that you are not to take. So you should be okay.

I had run out of the Gas-X and since I live in a rural area (Walgreens is 15 miles), I didn't want to go out that late. I didn't take the rolaids but intend to call doctor and get some more Gas-X today! Thanks for your help.

Gas-X-Strips. Make sure to take 3 or 4 of them. Many people take just 1, and that doesn't work. If you read the box it tells you.

Hope you get better soon.

Feeling great tonight. Doctor said to take the Gas-X and follow the directions on the box. I won't eat another hamburger for a long time! It might have been the Dale's seasoning but since I haven't eaten beef yet, it could have been a rejection from my body. I know it doesn't like cheese anymore. Back to chicken & fish. Thanks for the help.

      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.
