Thanks Linda!  I haven't tried any other meds yet... waiting to see what the Endo Doc says... shouldn't be long. 

My PCP is going to call me when he finds out.

Jody, thanks for putting this all in one place for us to read.  I'm really sorry you're having these problems but glad that they will hopefully be resolved really soon.

I started Protonix 2x a day after my VSG.  Several months ago I went to once a day and in the last week I've started going without it.  You may find that Protonix helps you keep from having the munchies.  Many VSG patients find that when they go off the Protonix they get hungrier for snacks.  So this may have a hidden benefit for you too!

Please keep us updated.

Hang in there Jody! So sorry you are going through this now. You have done so well. But it is good to know that I maybe facing these same issues in my future, and I would like to be aware and prepared.

Make sure Tom knows how to use your glucometer too. Also have some glucose gel available that he could give you if you pass out. Keep some glucose tabs and a protein bar in your purse too, if you feel a bout coming on.

Reflux meds sure beat the heck out of heart meds, bp meds, cholesterol meds, and etc! I know its not easy and I may be in your shoes someday soon.

Keep us posted!

Big hugs!!

Maria - yes, I made Tom and his daughter both see how to do it - whether they could or not, I don't know....

The issue with the reflux is - I can't feel anything other than the upset tummy and clearing my throat - I wasn't even sure if the lump in my throat was part of it too, which now I think it is. 

Thanks for the hugs!
