Mmmm, I love salmon. Thanks for the suggestion! So far I've been doing chaffles and those have been great, but I'll definitely keep sous vide salmon in mind.

Hi. I can relate. I had thought about. I actually used to work for them...oh 30 years ago. I'm sure a lot has changed. Can you please tell me what the abbreviations stand for after your post?

I had my VSzG in 3015 and lost 135 lbs. Then had to have my gallbladder out and almost immediately regained 30lbs that have taken up permanent residence again. My issue along with that is prior to surgery I NEVER craved sweets and I mean NEVER. Now i ALWAYS crave them. I've tried numerous suggestions and sti have the problem. 5 years out I still have not one bite of fast food or carbonated drinks. My exercise is limited due to chronic pain. I have tears in my eyes as I write this...I was close to having the extra skin on my tummy removed but now I wonder if they will due to the weight gain. Any insight anyone can give me would be very much appreciated.
Propel water does this to me too and ur post is literally the only thing I could find. Did u happen to try it again and see if it was actually the propel that made u sick? So what I have to do in order to drink propel and not get stomach cramps and diarrhea is for each bottle of it I'll pour about 1/8 of propel and 7/8 water. U still get the taste (though not so sweet) and it doesn't make me sick. I tried to be lazy today and just drink the propel as is and yep stomach cramps have started. It's the propel 100 percent
12 post-VSG now.
No pain to complain about. Happy about that.
I will be seeing my doctor for the first time after surgery in 2 days.
Every time I finish eating I am feeling nauseous and lethargic. Is that normal?
Hi there! would you happen to know if they do revisions? im 8 years out and Ive gained half of my body that I lost back.
so did you find a physician in Louisiana that will do it? I need the same thing.
Barrett's esophagus is a potentially serious complication of GERD, which stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In Barrett's esophagus, normal tissue lining the esophagus -- the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach -- changes to tissue that resembles the lining of the intestine.
Hi all, I posted in the general forum, but then thought it would be best to post here as well... Any help is greatly appreciated. This question is for a friend of mine who is a VSG patient and has recently been told that she is going to undergo a revision to RnY due to being diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus. Have any of you had this diagnosis?
Is it like being diagnosed with GERD?
Tried that but did not work for me. Had to add a touch of honey and cinnamon. Quite filling!
