I take Dexilant from my gastroenterologist, hasn't given me any carafate although I have taken it in the past. I took it then in pill form, never had liquid. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Has anyone started with one hospital/center, found out it wasn't a fit for your plans and switched to another? If so, did you have to go back to the beginning or were you given credit for past accomplishments? I'm running into a roadblock with my current program and wondering. whether to stick it out or cut ties. [emoji22] Thank You Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Never had chili powdered ones, did have barbeque ones. Crunchy and not too bad. Always wondered if I had natural,teeth if the crunchy hopper part would get stuck between them. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Avoid spices, definitely no more coffee. Aggravates my gastritis and GERD. Also peppermint. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

One of our Presidents enjoyed pork rinds, I think it was George H.W.Bush. I know Ronald Reagen liked Jelly Belly jelly beans. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I was in BC for the Centennial of Confederation. Visited Vancouver, Campbell River and spent a week on Quadra Island where my penpal lived. All beautiful, I'd love to see Vancouver again and I never did get to Victoria, I would have loved to see the Gardens there. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi I'm not in BC but@ Lesliesbari is still active and lives in mountains, does the Rockies go into B.C.? Otherwise there are,2 active in Alberta, Mrs Gamgee is in Red Deer and there's another who's in Calgary. The rest of Canadians seem to be in Ontario.

I'm trying to baby my ulcer along. No h.p.bacteria so mine must be from excessive NSAID usage. Surely don't want Hector to perferorate on me. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Creek Imp I'm in Ohio and I even know about Meijer. We don't have one in my town, they closed the one in Newark, can you believe they wanted to remodel and expand, the city fathers fought them because it would encroach on the flood plain, Meijer got p.o.-ed and. left town. That's 23 miles south of here but 23 miles to the north in Ontario, a Mansfield suburb there is one in good shape. Go there when I can get there. Otherwise I'm stuck with Walmart, Krogers and a IGA.

Fluffster when you have a moment go over to my Change Your Hospital posting. Things are not perfect in the Emerald City.

Hi Guys, a temporary detour in my weight loss journey but I vow it will not be a roadblock. Still trying to make March-April even May although I don't want to wait that long. Anybody that wants more of the story check out my Change Your Hospital posting, I will not let the happenings embitter me. I am the same kakatlady as always, friend to all and a dog gone sweet person, if I do say so. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Update :::I found 3 other programs in my area. Made application to all 3. #3 is in my own town, I would have,to switch to a VSG as they don't yet do RnY. Not certain why but I can't have consult with the surgeon or her immediate staff until April 10, she is a general surgeon -only does bariatric consult Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoons. That program is starting, been up since Thanksgiving 2017. The other 2 are in Columbus, one has informational seminar March 9th, the other March 10th. I'm leaning right now towards the March 9th one but I do want to make sure it is a good fit and if I commit to them --will they commit to me? It is a two-way street, I am weary of. sublimating my will to someone else, for you don't win love or respect that way. I am a little wary after my last experience. I am reminded of a Bible verse addressed to Jesus " are you he whom we seek or shall we look for another?" And thats how kakatlady's world turns today. I still value any feedback any of you may have, still trying to make sense of what happened. P.s. Both #1and #2 have Center of Excellence accreditation, program#3 does not. Also since insurance picked up cost of 1st set of testing would they pay a 2nd set or should I hope all records transfer? This is a game I never planned to play!

Lol I'm sure I would have done that exact same thing. My late husband, I woke up one AM, spoke to him, he didn't answer, touched him and he felt cool, I stuck my hand in the back of his briefs and touched his bum. He woke up, oh my did he ever. Good thing I could run faster than him cause he was NOT happy. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Sammi I'm fairly certain I will have a RnY. I have severe arthritis, GERD and Sleep Apnea. If I were younger, I'm 72, and no GERD I probably would seek a VSG. We have veterans on here who have had great success with both. I've studied up on both so feel I'm making an informed decision. I've got to take my morning Dexilant, get up and face my day, but answer back if you like. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
