Great!

I am asking about a specific company named "Oats Overnight". But thank you for your response.

Hi All,
Does anyone here have GERD and/or LPR (Silent Reflux) after gastric bypass surgery? If so, can you please advise:
1. How long ago you had the gastric bypass surgery (and if you had revision from sleeve to bypass)?
2. When your symptoms of GERD and/or LPR started?
3. If you have managed to treat it?
I have LPR and am struggling. So other people's experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

If you have chronic pain, I would (and did) get myself to a pain management specialist.
There are all kinds of new therapies for chronic pain and pain management stays on top of them.
I swear by them.
Good luck,
Tek

I have chronic pain & will for the rest of my life. I use a lot of Lidocane Patches & BioFreeze but I’m not sure how those would work on your crack.
I have taken ibuprofen occasionally when I’m in a lot of pain (maybe 4 times in the last 4.5 years). I know I shouldn’t but when the Lidocane, BioFreeze, tens unit, heat, ice, Norco & Metaxalone aren’t working I need some relief somehow!

My orthopedic surgeon told me that for every 10lbs you lose it takes 20lbs off your knee joints. The healthier you are going into knee repair the better.
I do agree that speaking with a dietitian and therapist about how to manage meals and feelings with regards to having a history of anxiety, depression, and disordered eating.
Best of luck.

You could ask about a panneculectomy and add on abdominplasty. That would address upper abdomen skin with out the vertical scar….

Are you happy with the panniculectomy results?

I was practically bedridden before surgery, so I don't have a "normal" to get back to at the gym. What I do now is Water aerobics five times a week plus (very light) strength conditioning twice a week. It may not sound like much, but it's currently the right amount for me. Slowly and surely getting stronger all the time feels fantastic.

Does anyone have overactive bladder issues

I’m on day 10 post op and I’m following the manual I received from my surgeon like a Bible lol. Can’t wait to have eggs and other puréed foods by Monday (11/22). I ditched the medicine cup though but not rushing when drinking my liquid. I took me at least 3-4 hours to finish an entire bottle but my ending the day with 80 oz. Journaling my intakes and not rushing are working for me. I’m scared of the dumping syndrome also but can be prevented. I have to be mindful and watch my intake.

There are many bariatric cookbooks available on Amazon and elsewhere. These are some of the ones I've gotten:

Call your dr

Good 👍

Yes! I did and it turned out to be B12 deficiency. I'm sure by now they've done bloodwork, but if they didn't check that, that's something to look at.
Typical symptoms include:
Weak muscles Numb or tingling feeling in hands and feet Trouble walking Nausea Decreased appetite Weight loss Irritability Lack of energy or tiring easily (fatigue) Diarrhea Smooth and sore tongue Fast heart rate

When i had covid my worst symptom was nausea and coughing. The coughing lasted a month or so. But no spitting up anything. Good luck. Covid test typically come back next day so you should have your answer quick.

Sorry to hear that. Glad you got it checked out. Feel better soon.

I had the pannicolopy

as I recall, you're pretty far out from surgery, so you should be able to eat any type of grain.

I don't eat orzo because it's just pasta; empty carbs. I would imagine if you can eat any Pasta, you wouldn't have trouble with orzo. I had some Soup yesterday that had pasta in it, no issues. It was a different shape than orzo, but still just pasta.
