Preventing erosion



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was searching the site for how to prevent erosion. The only thing I could find was that "abuse could cause erosion".

So since I couldn't find anything, I thought I would ask. I am assuming smoking and uncontrolled acid reflux can cause it? I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Libby

First of all there is stomach erosion and band erosion. To prevent stomach erosion dont consume tons of alhocol or spicy food make sure not to get large fills at a time or too close together. After a fill or pb episode make sure to follow your doctors orders like liquids for a few days etc. Dont get over filled that can cause acid reflux. Me personally i take a tums a day at night to help prevent stomach erosion whih i already had

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
