Recommended Posts

I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago and NO ONE (Mentor) has even came back to reply to me any words, good or bad.. So you mentors, your here to read and help out.. If you dont know how to help someone with their problem then tell them that.. But dont leave a person hanging.... I am pissed... Mentors to help people with the Lapband.. What did I get ? No answer what so ever....

Hi Gang, Hope everyone is fine and well. I have a question. Does the lap band cause acid reflux? if so...what do I do about it? I've never had this problem before. Any ideas on what is safe to take? My Mom told me what she takes everyday but since we aren't suppose to take Aleve and certain things I want to make sure what I take is safe with the band.

Yes it does cause it. Talk with you Doc. and see what they surggest. I just go to Wal-mart and buy their generic acid reducer.

So far and I am 7 months out I haven't had a problem with acid reflux. Maybe I am just lucky. Hope you can get some relief with an antacid.

Did you pose your question on one of the mentor's threads? There are several here, I post in Janet's IndigoGirls and she gets back to you a lot. If you didn't like the mentor you chose to post on's thread, try another one. I think there are several here with threads. Hope that helps

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
