Topic: RE: These ND winters!!!!
I am also very tired of this winter stuff! I started walking on my lunch breaks and it is not fun with all of the water and now snow. My kids have cabin fever and it is hard to keep them entertained. Sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out but then again I am losing it fast enough so that probably is not a good idea:) We must be tough or crazy to stay here (I vote crazy!)

Topic: RE: Burping up nasty taste...not my food. HELP:(
My mom was saying it was cheaper by prescription too. Im waiting to hear from park rapids. I had another test done the other day, had to drop samples off at clinic. They have no idea about my fever.
I asked PR to send for an rx to the clinic. She was waiting for the dr to get in today to see what they can do.
I think going back to work april 6 is going to be interesting. :( Uffda. I have a desk job but my part time job is at a coffee shop. My supervisor is very aware I can not lift anything over 10 so....that eliminates me for most anything but taking orders.
I get such like hunger pains but hate to eat.....afraid of that reflux. Ive only had applesauce today. I was put back on phase 2 of diet due to the test last friday. Im back to phase 3, forkable foods now. Just no desire to try anything new. It seems if I try something new, I get horrible stomach cramps while my stomach digests it.
Back to having my water....thanks for the extra tips Kelly/Tink. I need it!

You can buy prilosec over the counter. I was giving it by RX much cheaper LOL and I took-1 cap 2 times a day for 2 months then once a day for 4 months. They are 200 mg each.
The generic name is : Omeprazole.(Most likely covered by your insurance).
It takes months for your body to heal, you may think it is healed on the outside but inside is not. Most people that have had issues after surgery have buyers remorse. I was one of them!. I would not have recommended it to someone I hated even. When asked at 6 months out, my answer and attitude had changed. It has given me a better quality of life etc.. You will get there,have faith!!
Best of luck, keep us posted

No one has recommended prilosec or anything and its really torking me to be truthful. Sad when I know what will help me. Im at my moms right now in Jamestown and I just started using her prilosec. It has helped a lot, until last night. I had another bad night. Burping up that bitter, rotten taste again.
I actually wish I had never had this surgery. WHY cant I heal correctly? I was scoped last Friday and it didnt do anything, but irritate the inside of my inicision. It "burns" if I move incorrectly, cough, laugh, etc. Its FRUSTRATING. I wouldnt be a good person to recommend this surgery to anyone. I realize I had to have it open that causes more issues, but this is ridiculous.
Between a fever since surgery, that keeps getting higher*that no one is really concerned about*, my pain issue and the reflux, I tell you what......

Just saw your post, hope everything is ok, however, if you have not done anything as of yet, here is my opinion!
I am not a DR.... however, PLEASE call Dr. Smith before you go to your PCP at Innovis. I had a stricture, called Dr. Smith at the hospital (on a Sunday morning mind you), he took my call personally, had me in for a scope Monday morning. Due to the pain, I did go to urgent care at Innovis... NOT a good idea... big run around just for pain meds.... I should have driven to Park Rapids! Urgent care is not trained to help bariatric patients... an emergency yes, but bariatric issues no! After my scope, I was also a bit inflamed so Dr. Smith prescribed 1 month of Prilosec (I think)... that helped ALOT!
Good luck to you!

Topic: RE: These ND winters!!!!
How are you doing Jewels? You aren't very far out. I've been wondering how you were doing. I am so looking forward to getting out and walking outdoors. I am doing very well after my RNY November 19th, 2008. 75 lbs gone gone gone and I feel great ! Now some nice dry, warm, sunny and windless weather would put the icing on the cake for all of us, right?
Keep on Keeping on~~~~~~~~

Laughs at the FEMA part!
I just keep telling myself only 16 more winters, that is all I have to make it through. Unless some fantastic job comes along down south and I move my plans ahead LOL
We are built tough!
