  1. Good morning, I finally decided to take the step and do a surgery consult. I’ve been considering surgery for 10 years. I tried to talk to my sister about it and she told me I’m mentally I’ll and need to do counseling, that I have PTSD and if I just do counseling I’ll lose weight. Trust me I’ve lost weight before with diets and behavior modification! Then tells me I just need to do keto (also did that I need more veggies and fruits in my life). Anyone have not supportive family? I guess I’m sort of over working so hard (no I’m not constantly eating candy, chips and fast food like everyone says to me) and getting nowhere. About me: 41, she/her, work as a research RN, no kids, never married, 2 dogs. Living the fun life in the desert of Arizona.
  2. Something else to keep in mind is to take the pantaprazole on an empty stomach. Let it sit for 30 minutes before you eat or drink anything. It works by stopping acid production but if it’s already stimulated doesn’t work. I have patients that prefer to take prior to bed because it helps with acid while laying down.
