try taking a prilosec in the morning 1/2 hr before eating. Did you not have an endoscopy for the surgery? You might have hiatal hernia which they can repar during surgery. Talk to dr. you don't want to go against their advice good luck. I have endoscopy today to see if surgery is on for Thursday. I have hernia and mild reflux. I am taking acifex for the last six weeks and hope today he will say I am healed they will not operare on me til there is some healing of esopg erosion

I have been experiencing symptoms of acid reflux for the past few weeks. I did not know what it was. I spoke with a few nurses I work with last night and they said it sounds like acid reflux and possible hernia.
The symptoms I have been experiencing are a sour stomach, tongue feels weird, almost like it is burned and prickly, throat burns and sore, lump in throat and almost every time I lay down I throw up.
Have any of you experienced this?
Do I need to call my surgeons office? Afraid if I do that surgery will be postponed....on other hand, I'm afraid if I don't let them know it might be cancelled.
This is stressing me out. I appreciate any advise about this.
Thank you!

I'm 66 and having surgery next month in Mexico. My BMI is 35. I realised that I have come to think of being over 200lbs as normal for me. That is not right. I can't get there and stay there without help. I've kept off 63lbs for 13 ears but wonderland has escaped me. I want to avoid diabetes and to have knees that don't hurt.
I want to get down on the floor and play games with my granddaughters. I want more energy!
I can't wait to have the surgery and start my new life.

Hi I am sixty and was sleeved in Mexico on 7/1/11. Reached my goal and have been maintaining for about 18 months. Only problem seems to be GERD and a much larger skin suit than I would like. Plus that whole face sinking thing...but lets face it...I am 60! The upside of being 60 is that, at this age, I would not be likely to wear a bathing suit without a cover up even if I had not "melted" from WLS , so there is not much of a lifestyle change there. I wish that I had had the surgery at 30! The real upside is that I can walk (amazing how much pressure that 125 extra lbs. put on those knee joints). And I don't have high BP. Glad to see there baby boomers who have deflated on this forum

I was so lost and a friend forwarded me this link it gives a black and white of what u should do each week and food items was a lifesaver for me! If the link doesnt work google peachtree gastric sleeve and u will find the manual.
Good luck to you it gets better!
