7 years nearly...that's gone fast.. It's been one TOUGH ride and anyone who thinks I have taken the easy route to weightloss hasn't a clue. I started out size 24/26 I'm currently 14/16,my weight has increased and I've had several stomach surgeries..including Peterson defect. I am grateful for my...

I've been on this lanzaropsole for 6 years since my gastric bypass,2 a day. I had to stop taking for 2 weeks on doctors orders to have a pylori test done,whilst off these tablets I had the most severe burning pains..soon as I went back on them everything was ok again.

Hi.. I'm 6 yrs in sept...and Ive put weight on,is never thought I'd allow it to happen but it has! It's a constant battle..

Yes I was tested for that h pylori,my stomach is tons better since my surgery for the petersons defect. I really don't post much anymore,only if I feel I can be of some help...like you say lots of stuff doesn't apply to us. And some newbies tend to be "full of knowledge" :-) I've got a bad habit...

Helen your doing great,if you feel good nothing else matters!

How are you these days yvessa...we don't post much anymore. Lucky for me time off work for christmas..so I'm having a nosey about on here tonight!

You know you did wrong....just don't do it again. It really ain't worth the trouble you'll get yourself into if your insides are put into danger just for the sake of a bit of something your chancing....I remember the early days still like yesterday...it's hard to change the habits of a life...

My christmas dinner was a M+S fish pie...and it was lovely.. I've had fish pie for the past 5 years for my christmas dinner since my surgery. There's no worse feeling than a EVIL sprout being stuck and chest pain for the rest of the day!

Be careful...if your only 2weeks post op aren't you still on thin clear liquids stage ? Never mind thin mush ? It's so easy in your mind thinking your ready for more,when your body tells you different.

Mouse..I've asked my GP if I should have the flu jab due to me being a bypass person...they said if wasn't more vulnerable and there's no need...even though I need b12,lifelong vitamins and iron deficient. So I've never had one..

Thanks mouse and tranquil... I do have to own up though that I've gained a bit of weight back..no longer a 12 but 14/16 trouser. Dr ammori didn't seem to concerned as I'm over 5 yrs out and have maintained pretty good for my amount of years. He told me to watch my crisp habit though,as I was...

Thanks tranquil.. I do read posts but just stay in the background..unless I feel like I can help in some way.

Thanks Marcus...all is well at minute :-) I had stopped posting as I was all doom and gloom.... And there's nobody about anymore that had surgery many years ago like me...so I'm boring..lol

After all tests came back clear I ended up going in for investigations to have a check around... I ended up having a defect repaired..a hole in which the surgeon repaired as my bowel was slipping in/out of. I had always insisted the pain I was getting felt like a trapped bowel..as it was...

I'm 5 yrs post op bypass...and everyday is different with foods still with me. Dumping is still as evil as ever...but a blessing in disguise :-)

Thank you Chrisa and Helen...yep I've gained weight but at least my pain has been resolved,just need to cut back on my naughty crisp habit.

Thanks I'm pretty pleased with myself for a change :-)

Yesterday..I had my appointment regarding surgery I had back in May. I'm was lucky to see Dr Prof Ammori on this occasion,and we had a good chat and I learnt a few things. He asked how things was after my recent surgery I had with the other surgeon he works with. If anyone has read past posts...
