| Whipper Snapper |  Hello to everyone Hello to everyone, I haven't been posting too often but I have been logging in and reading....what a great site this is for finding out what physicians don't tell you before the surgery. Maybe they don't know??? Everyone is different, I guess. I am 15 months out from surgery. I did go on Prilosec but still have problems with excessive saliva....even when I just take a drink of water (sip). Crazy... I am fatigued alot but my blood tests all say normal. I would still have the surgery over again even if I knew then what I know now. I still can't eat bread and eggs make me nauseated BUT now I can shop, shop, shop and not have to look in the fat women's dept. I wear a size 10 and some of those are too baggy. My stomach has stopped the loud noises it made for a few months so that is a blessing. Gas is a problem and I haven't found anything that takes that away....anyone have any suggestions? I have tried everything except prescription junk that the dr. could prescribe. (if there is anything). Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and feeling wonderful. Bless to all and hugs. elliejon |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Ellijon, Hi--and wonderful to hear from a person who is has had the surgery. As a new person to the site, all of this information is wonderful. So sorry to hear about your tummy upset. One thing I've learned in my journey is to include my medical team on all issues. I'd suggest you take this prob to your team of experts. Sometimes it is amazing what they know. Peace be with you, Becky

| Sounds like you're doing great. Like Becky said, it's great reading information others have posted. If I read something now and later it happens to me, I'll say.. well.. this is normal.. so and so had it happen to them. Congrats on the weight loss and the size 10.
