Sounds like acid reflux. I have suffered for years after I was sleeved in 1998. Make sure to talk to your DR about what can done. If you can, prop yourself up at night, don't eat 2 hours before bed, avoid foods that can cause acid such as; tomatoes, coffee, citrus and spicy foods!

I am also looking forward to being able to get into the car without assisting my left leg, I usually have to lift it

Don't forget you deserve the longer walks too!

Congratulations!!!

I completely agree with GreenTealael, I have had to call my surgeons office several times. Every time I do, things are suddenly farther along. Sometimes I feel like a pest, but I am betting if I didn't call them I might not even get my surgery this year.

Congratulations!

I am really looking forward to that! Thanks so much!

Awww and I was hoping to be off the Omeprazole right away! I imagine my bp meds will take longer

Search for this post Medical ID tags/bracelets/jewelry in the search bar. Was a pretty good discussion not long ago

Not long now, congratulations!

Looks like there are quiet a few September surgeries. Mine is Sept. 16th! Good luck everyone!

I am both nervous and excited! Like you I am using this time to educate myself, find shakes that I like and anything else I can think of. And of course I have to clean the house top to bottom before surgery

Mine is Sept 16th!! So happy for you!!

I really hope you can come to a resolution! Will be cheering you on!

You are an inspiration!

Yay!

I got my surgery date Friday September 16th!

I found this the other day and I think it will be very helpful to me, and I hope to those here. https://www.obesitycoverage.com/the-big-gastric-bypass-diet-guide/

Darn and I was hoping to get rid of my pain patch!

Morton (salt company) makes a lotion "unscented Epsom Lotion it does help with some of my pain!

This is a great group of people, I have found a lot of support and information here. Welcome to the group!

I walked a mile in the morning and a mile at night as soon as I could walk. about 1 month I added Richard Simmons routines every week day. It was hard but so worth it,

I really need to check out GNC! Thanks!

I have been researching protein drinks, which one do you like? I am even considering making some soups and such for post op. I am so excited for you, it sounds like you have made the very best of your time before surgery! I will be watching to see how your surgery goes. Best wishes!

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a brink and mortar WLS/Bariatrc grocery store?
