Topic: RE: Can't decide on Lap band or sleeve!!

Andrea,

i just wanted to share my story with you. I like u researched and searched again.... wanted to do rny, but was too afraid. so, i got the band... in 2006. my starting weight was 269 and i got down to 184 in the summer of 2009. as time went on, i started to gain alittle weight, then, i get terrible chest pain, acid in my throat all the time, heartburn... anyway, i thought i was having a heart attack. so i go to the er and they take a chest xray. SURPRISE...... MY BAND SLIPPED..... then i goto my surg. and he sends me for an endoscopy...... and i go two weeks later and..... SURPRISE, ITS A HIATAL HERNIA ON MY ESOPHAGUS. so now here i sit, trying to figure out which route to go.... i have been researching the sleeve mostly. well, whatever u decide, best wishes... i just wanted to share my story with what happened to me, but everyone is different.... good luck keep in touch and let me know what u decided on.....

Do your research!  I had the band and had it removed and revised to RNY due to severe reflux.  If you have reflux now, the band can intensify the reflux.

Good luck!

Topic: RE: In search of vitamins!
Hi there!  You might want to post this on the RNY board, there are lots of knowledgeable folks there who can point you in the right direction.  Some websites will send you samples, too, although I can't remember right now which ones do.

Some websites to visit include:

Celebrate vitamins
Bariatric Advantage
Building Blocks (or Bariatric Building Blocks)
Bariatric fusion vitamins

I know Walgreens sells one called Optifast, but they are orange flavored and you need to eat them 4x day (not so yummy; they were gritty).  I believe Centrum has a chewable too.

Good luck!

I am having a devil of a time finding vitamins!  Can somebody point me in the right direction, please.  I am 3 weeks out and would like to find a chewable which is appropriate for me.

THANKS!
