I am so sorry to hear about Shirley' s passing. My condolences to her family.

Stepyhanders, in a thread today that you were one of the responders, someone else not only diagnose the problem" you have acid reflux" that same person said "take Nexium" . No where in that post did I see the words" in my experience" or, "you should check with your doctor first".

Stepyhandets, I chose the word "prescribing" to place emphasis on my point, hence the quotations.

"You took it to your doctor.." and he made the decision for you whether it was okay in that particular instance to injest or use whatever was on that list. My point exactly.....it was approved by your doctor.

Mis73...none taken. Never apologise for expressing how you feel.

As I said before, we are all free to express ourselves. I said what I wanted to whether you agreed or not, and you may express yourself however you please. I am not looking for anyone to agree with me.

Hey, I can express myself and so can you. You do not know if someone is already taking medication that if s/he takes even am over the counter drug ad " aspirin' , what other symptoms or sickness may occur. Elcee.....I have never and hopefully will never ask you for medical or any other advice. SO YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ME TAKING ADVICE FROM YOU.

No one has that right and that is why we should make suggestions in regards to what have worked for us. We should never explicitly tell anyone to go and purchase any pills, potion ect. Over the counter drugs are just as harmful. Always refer them to their doctors, that is included in the follow up or after surgery care. I know many of you will not agree, but I read it so many times on here.

I do not think it is right for anyone to tell others what medication to take for certain symptoms.Remember that someone may have a pre-existing condition that may have adverse effect with certain medicine. It is best to suggest for them to see their doctor.

You look amazing! Congratulations!

Loop, were you successful with finding a Fill Doctor?

All the best in your recovery...i will remember you in my prayers.

I am not sure about the original post...this same person is asking survey questions on here with a different topic. Hmmmm?

Congratulations! What a miracle! Take care of yourself and family.

Hang in there!

Who are you? What are your intentions with the answers given?

Congrats on your one year of success. I am not banded as yet but I can't wait ....

If you are not committed to the lifestyle change, then the band is not for you. Good luck with your exercise!

Congratulations on regaining control of your health. All the best with the band. There is a lot of support on this site.

I am not banded yet. I am still awaiting an approval from BCBS California.....but welcome to the site. Lots of information on here.
