Wanda, Glad to hear that you are doing okay. Congratulations on the 22 lbs, that's GREAT!! On the Prevacid issue, I was on it for 3 months after my surgery. That was my doctors protocol. I don't know if that is why I didn't have any major problems, but I could sure tell the difference when I went off. Keep up the losing, and you have my prayers for a Fast, Full recovery..

Wanda, I sure hope this works for you . You should be so proud of your 22 pounds, you are doing so good. Amy

Hey babe, I'm Dr. Hixon patient too and Im still on prevacid. Here is some other advice I learned along the way. Before you eat something new (other than liquid) chew a pepcid complete or before taking meds. IT really worked for me. Especially since you and I both have fobi's. Im 8 weeks out and carry a bottle around with me everywhere. But ya know what. Less and less do I feel like I need the med. So hang in there it does get better. 22 pounds how wonderful is that!!!! Good for you. Hope your enjoying the lose clothes..lol take care, lynn 8wks - 50lbs - 30 inches gone forever

Hi Lynn...can't tell you how relieved I am to hear fellow Fobi's have the continued need for Pepcid. When I asked surgeon Dr. Burrowes about a refill after the first month, he said you don't need that anymore...or you shouldn't! I said...well, I certainly can tell a difference when I don't use it. He did tell me to call in 2 weeks to schedule a test to check, but did give me a refill for another 3 weeks. I don't take them every day...but reading your posts, maybe I should, without feelingGUILTY! Dang, southern wimmen do that best, don't we? The guilt thing! lol Thanks for the info. Joyce

YAY to your 22 pounds!!! Was it the plane crash you were near? ? Take care...you are doing well... stay relaxed and go sloooowwwww.... -Tami

My surgeon kept me on Protonix for 3 months after mine. he does all his patients. I'm glad for that. Helped me transition. I did still get sick some, but not as much as I would have. Jamie

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -22 lbs. that is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with the Prevacid working. Hang in there. Hope to see you tonight. Debbie

Debbie, Are you referring to the Carrollton meeting? That's next week isn't it? 4th Wed?
