Just got back from my appointment with the surgeon, I'm gonna get sleeved in mid August!!!

It's taken a while to get here (my initial appt was way back in Nov 2017) but am glad I got months to mentally prepare. So excited!!

I read somewhere on here about getting somekind of mouth spray to simulate saliva. I don't think it's available here. Any alternative?

Could you be meaning Biotene? Many Bari-Pals swear by it, I am pre surgery so haven't had a chance to use it yet!😛💦😛

First, congrats on getting your date. Did you try ordering it online? If you look it up on say Amazon they will give you a list of alternatives on the same page. Maybe one of those will be available for you. I had it and used it one time. It was quite a shock as I had never used it before. Very minty and for sure made my saliva kick into high gear. I didn't use it again after that.

Check Wal-Mart, CVS and Rite-Aid if you have any of those. If not go on your search engine, I use Google and Mozilla Firefox and look for their website. And I'm sure Amazon would have it, they even stock things I DON T WANT!😛

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
