I'm definitely keeping the doctor appointment on Thursday-still not really doing well at all.  Still on bland stuff, and I'm DQing the celebrex-which grieves me, but it is the most likely remaining suspect.

More annoying than the reflux is the lack of sleep.   I still don't think this is band related-the food hits my lower stomach and the problems begin-so there is a chance it will be bug related-in which case, you don't want me there anyway.

I took meds at least an hour a part-and had stop after the Celebrex-which pretty much implicates it again.  Crap.  I LIKE being able to move.  (Celebrex was OK'd by band doctor, but it was a try it and see.  I thought after the first month I was clear...maybe not)

Without me too...I have class.  Sorry to hear you're still not feeling well.  Good luck with dqing the med.  I've experienced the same thing since I fell last week.  The pain med they gave me made me a real sick-o .  So if you're wondering why I'm grinning?????  Just dealing with it

I'm sorry we'll be missing both of you girls.  I am currently taking the "generic" celebex and having no real problems with it at all.  I was on the regular Celebrex earlier and no problems there either.  My insurance just liked the generic form better!  Just like they didn't want to pay for my WLS and didn't either!!  I do hope you get to feeling better and get it all figured out soon! 

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

Sorry you're going to miss tonight.  We will miss you.  I hope you feel better.  You need to talk to HappyCat.  She has RA and had to quit her Celebrex for much the same reasons.

That breaks my heart-for both of us cause I loved that celebrex.  Oh well, back to the therapuedic water aerobic pool until I figure out something else.

I really don't think these tiny tummies like a lot of pills, but in this case it was getting past little tummy, hitting big tummy and THAT's where the trouble began.

I've moved up to thicker oatmeal-and no burning, so I am hopeful that is what it was (I'd still rather know even if I don't like the answer).

Deb, my tummy is definitely happier without the Celebrex.  However, it is not back to normal.  I saw Dr. Walton this afternoon.  He switched me to Carafate today to see if they would settle down my unhappy tummy.  Once I get out of trouble I will go back to my Mobic.  I was able to take that after surgery without any problems.  Makes no sense to me since Celebrex is supposed to be easier on your tummy.  However, my pharmacist doesn't understand why they were ever allowed to say that abotu Celebrex. 

I am hoping that Carafate will settle my tummy down.  At this point I am OK as long as I don't try to eat.  If I eat I am nauseous.

Hopefully both of us can get our bellies to settle down again.

 

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Well, maybe when my stomach settles down again I can have a little caffiene-that is at least something!

It's all a process, finding out what works and what doesn't.  Don't quit trying and neither will I.

Without me too. It's the first real day of school, and I have to get up at 5:30 so I can be in the building early due to our computers being up and down and getting no work done today. I'll be too tired to socialize, so y'all enjoy.

Deb, I hope you get to feeling better soon!
