That's where I found mine.... been using the toothpaste and mouthwash for a while now. My bp meds dry my mouth out so my family doc suggested I try it.... it works. Just look my the mouthwash

Wal Mart, Walgreens, and CVS carries the spray, mouthwash, and toothpaste

Thanx for the info.... but I've already scheduled with Dr. Alvarez.

I have seen youtube videos where he has done lap band to vsg surgeries ...

You're welcome

The manometry is a little uncomfortable but no worry of throwing up on anyone..... the test took 15 to 20 minutes ..... i really didn't feel anything cause she numbed my throat really good. Good luck

I've had both tests done... the EGD you're put into what they call "twilight" , they put a tube down your throat to check for strictures, hernias, and any ablation on the esophagus. The manometry wasn't that bad even though you're awake they use a spray to numb your nose and throat. It basically checks the muscles in your throat and makes sure you don't have problems swallowing.

Thanks for the reply..... starting to get things on my shopping list, biotein spray is on there.... so I guess this will be needed. Again thank you..... glad things went well for you

Hello, have a question about the leak test... my papers say that he now does the leak test during surgery, does he still do the 24 hr test as well? If not, do you get ice chips the night of your procedure or still wait till next day? Thanks

I'm having mine October 5th..... good luck

Kei$ha , Rihanna, and LMFAO are just a few of my favorites .... very energetic and fun to workout with

That is great news.... congratulations !

I feel your pain... the waiting game is the worst thing ever! You have so much time to sit and think about all the what ifs... what if this doesn't work for me or what if I don't get approved. Being on this forum has been a true Godsend for me, when I feel down on myself I get on here and read such wonderful success stories and think yeah .. that Will be me too! Keep your chin up you can do this and next year we both will be much healthier and happier for it.

Irishmama2004, who was your doctor if I may ask? I'm going to Dr. Alvarez in October and he does the same thing with stitching over the staples and leak test during surgery. I'm almost there... can't believe how fast my time is coming. In the beginning it felt like forever and now in 56 days I will be rockin my sleeve woo hoo
