Hi, I'm new to this site. I had surgery July 10. My weight prior to surgery was 258, as of today it is 228.5. My major problem seems to be stomach acid. Can anyone help me?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

Welcome. I just joined recently myself. It's addicting. As far as the stomach acid, when I had my surgery my doc put me on a pepcid 2 times a day for the first few months. I never had a problem with it. Good luck.

Welcome to the boards, thank you for joining us.
Congratulations on joining the Loser's Bench.
Have you talked with your surgeon about the acid? If not, that's the first thing to do. Even if you've been instructed to take some meds, sometimes, they don't work for you, so you may need to have it changed.

(((((((HUGS))))))) May your journey go well.

Welcome to the boards. I can't help with your stomach acid, but sounds like a few folks have recommended some ideas. Hope it gets better.
