Taking A Lot of AntAcids



Recommended Posts

I am having to take 3-4 antacids everyday due to burning/hurting pain in stomach?

Acid is not coming up, but stays in stomach. Can lab band cause ulcers? Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do about it?

I have an appointment March 19th with my new lap band doctor. My lap band surgeon recently passed away, so I have a new doctor now.

Any insight you might have i would greatly appreciate.

The same thing was happening to me. Horrible heartburn Gerd and acid reflux. It got to the point where I would throw up every night and not able to keep anything down during the day. Wound up Seeing my surgeon On Wednesday and had the band removed on Monday he said my stomach was above the band was capsulated. A-day later for the 1st time in over a month and a 1/2 I didn't throw up at night and I slept almost through the whole night. I couldn't be happier.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
