Hi! I'm from the Bakersfield area. I'm 510 and stared at 289.5 I'm now 261. I've started getting a lot of heartburn recently. Have you had any problems. The surgeon said to take pepcid chewables. I never had this problem before surgery. I stumbled to this forum and decided to sign up maybe find a weight loss buddy :)

I am from the San Jose area. I started out at 233 and i am now 164. My doctor had me on Prilosec for 2 months after surgery to help with the heartburn. I never had a problem before surgery but if I forgot to take my Prilosec in the morning I was hurting. Now that I'm almost 4 months out I don't have heartburn anymore.

Well I hope my goes away soon! I get it even if Im asleep. Haven't been able to eat much or protien lately either from the nausea it gives me :( but I do suck on ice chips all the time as I'm always thirsty. Wow you've dropped a lot of weight in four months that great :) how often do you excercise? What are you doing just walking? And how tall are you if you don't mind me asking??

Have you tried sugar free Popsicles, those saved me in the beginning. You should see if your doctor will give you a prescription for Prilosec, or try the over the counter version. I am 5' 6". I hate to admit it, but I really haven't done much exercise up to this point. I just recently started taking Jazzercise, so hopefully that can get me to my goal a little faster.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
