I like using my Fitbit, I really need to get back to journaling my food though.

Not sure what it could be. He really should check with his surgeon or primary doc.

Hi Kelly!

At first I chose Dr. Shikora for his credentials as well and soon after speaking with him for the first time found out his bedside manners are just as impressive as his credentials. He is a phenomenal doctor!

You're in good hands!

Topic: Gastric reflux?

I am 2 years out from a gastric bypass and for a while now I have been experiencing a bitter taste in my mouth about 10-15 minutes after eating. It passes but I have been chewing gum to tolerate the taste until it goes away. I called the MD on my team who was unfamiliar with my symptoms but suggested trying an OTC pp inhibitor like Prevacid, Omeprazole (same thing). Still happens.

Anyone familiar with this symptom?

thx

Thank you for the warm welcome, Ladies!

And Shikora rocks! I wasn't sure about him at first, and tried to just be comforted by his credentials, but he won me over ;)

As a newbie, I have a question...how do I get a ticker? Would love to track my progress that way. Appreciate the direction!
