  5. Just wanted to let you know that as soon as my bypass was done I had no reflux whatsoever! My surgery was on November 12th, and I feel great. I started at 176, my SW 157, CW 142 Anyone out there getting the bypass for acid reflux it's going to have a nice surprise because it takes it away almost instantly I haven't had one problem and I haven't had to take any Prilosec.

  7. Try gas relief gelcaps or Beano anything beats smelling that in the whole office.
  8. Relief of acid reflux was a miracle!
  9. I had the bypass on Nov 12 and it took awhile to get back to eating anything. I'm happy to let you know that since day one I haven't had to worry about reflux at all. Some people might not believe me but I am so relieved to not have any acid in my throat anymore. Haven't had to take Omeprazole for over a month now. It's a whole new life. I did have acid reflux before the sleeve for about 3 years, but it got worse after the sleeve.
  10. Try some gas relief medicine it worked for me, never knew what gas was til after the surgery!

  12. Manners aren't what they used to be. My mom would always make us excuse ourselves to the bathroom.

  15. Yes I have struggled with reflux since I was at my heaviest weight. I've been taking Omeprazole 2 x a day for the last 15 years. I'm not having any reflux since last Tuesday and I'm so happy I did the bypass.
  16. I was only doing the bypass because of the reflux and I suffered for a long time. The bypass was so much better and easier. I swear the first sleeve surgery was done wrong but I never checked. Since I came home Thursday I don't need Omeprazole so far I'm doing great. Let's pray I never get the reflux back. You'll do great in surgery and get up and walk around a lot it helps everything moving forward. Good luck[emoji5]

  18. Bypass was a cake walk compared to the sleeve. The previous Dr had to have done something wrong. I went in at 12:30 Tuesday, stayed 2 nites and I was home on Thursday. I'm not having any dumping problems, once in a while if I eat too fast. Thank God for Zophran. Otherwise I feel fantastic. During the first six months of nut meetings my SW: 179 SWT:168 CW: 149 When I got the sleeve I was at 238 and Surgery weight 209 I was down to 142 at my lowest, not sure if I'm going to have problems down the line but so far so good. Thank you for your kind thoughts

  21. I think the bypass was easier than the sleeve. With the sleeve I didn't even want to drink and I didn't let myself get to worried about the surgery because I think that makes you think it's gonna be worse than it really is. I'm able to sip slowly and the broth and Jell-O help ! I'm so farveru happy I did the revision hopefully my acid reflux never comes back. That's the only reason I revised. Praying it helps.

  26. I had to cancel due to family emergency but I'm now heading back for the surgery on Nov 12th, 2nd time I have to starve again wanting to get this over with.
  27. I completely agree, Im having the bypass done after having the sleeve due to vomiting and constant reflux and its been going on since the sleeve was done 3 years ago. I just assumed the vomiting was from me overeating. I can't wait to get this over. My surgery was scheduled in October but due to some family emergency I had move it to Nov. and now I'm on my second 5 day fast in 2 months and I can't wait til they put me to sleep just so I can't feel hungry anymore.
  28. I had to reschedule my surgery to Nov.12th so now I'm doing this starvation diet again! 2nd time in a row and I'm tired of this hopefully they put me to sleep fast for surgery so I don't have to be hungry anymore.
  29. Thank you for the info I'm having my bypass on Nov. 12th don't know what time yet.
