When i click on name i dont have personal details option. None of ones from screenshot allow me to change things.

Very odd. Should be lot easier to amend profiles.

Seriously? Weird. Iv been trying for ages to change profile by updating and removing some things, but cannot find where to do it.

Hi, i wanted to delete my account but dont think thats possible. How can i update profile to make it more private? I cannot find the option anywhere to add/remove weights/job/ surgeon etc. Thanks

Have had barium swallow, the swallowing tests (drinking and eating) ph 24hr tube up nose to monitor acid, 2 x endoscopes (1 normal one, other was part of ph bravo capsule insertion), and ph bravo test. All conclude not acid reflux. Which was pretty sure of before tests ordered last october/...

Well where do i start. Weight loss has stopped now, and i am at a reasonably stable weight stage (always room for improvement) Following a long running issue of bile reflux once i began eating solids, batteries of tests, i have now been told by an Upper GI Consultant (arranged by my surgeon...

Well spoke to surgeon. Only took 2.5mths after tests who confirmed he believes its bile. Needs to speak to another gastro consultant as to whether to try some type of meds, or if he needs to revise bypass. So far iv been given 3 diff lengths of the limb. Initial letter to gp post op said 75cm...

Hello, This is for anyone whos had bile reflux really, especially post bypass. What were your treatment options, and how did it go? Going through hell with it at minute, and really lost and confused. Any help or advice welcome John

Wow you have been through the wars. From weight loss point of view i am brilliant but the reflux and tiredness is tough. Reduced cals obviously causing tirednesst so really its purely reflux issue to resolve. No NHS bariatric services here in NI so docs are useless in helping it. One drug my...

Surgeon mentioned potential fundoplication, linx surgery, or limb lengthening (obviously as you rightly say this can restart the weight loss). From what iv read, fundoplication isnt great option after bypass as you struggle with bloating/wind/inability to vomit etc, linx does not have much...

Hi guys, As title suggests, has anyone had their bypass moved lower to alleviate bile reflux which has occurred post op? If so, what was the outcome? Over a year post op here and the stinking bile taste is really grinding my gears not to mention wrecking my throat etc. Had ogd confirming...

Hi guys, hope you are all well. Does dumping continue for rest of your life, or does the body gradually build up a tolerance to things as things heal. Just curious. As someone who has avoided the sugary stuff etc for 11mths post op since an unfortunate calpol episode, i am just wondering....

my god you have been through the wars. With my reflux not being great beforehand thats 1 of 2 main reasons i chose bypass over sleeve (other being i wanted the threat of dumping if i got urge for chocolate treats etc) Show you how poor services are here. Have been checking out about using my...

spoke to my dietitian yday who advised 800-1000cals at minute and long term under 1200 as going over that runs danger of weight regain. Personally id have thought more long term as when you are near a "normal weight" you would be needing to eat closer to normal recommended daily cal amount, but...

another query is i wonder if a short roux limb is considered incorrect, and in that situation who is eligible to fund the repair. My surgery was privately funded Just so many thoughts and worries in my head

By the way did your bypass correct the reflux?

Brutal esp at night. Had Acid reflux for years, and am back on same meds as pre op. Throats been in bits for months. Told my gp in july, whos advice was to ask my surgeon when i next saw them. No referral to gastro or anything. It was my surgeon who brought up fundoplication or linx surgery, or...

just an update. Saw my surgeon whos mentioned about possible reflux surgery options as im at highest levels. Given im in belfast and hes england i cant get an nhs referral to him grrrr. nhs over here havent a clue re bypass patients, and im unsure if they even do reflux surgery options we...

Hi guys, Just wondering about how many calories patients are on from over a year and longer out. Obv 800-1000 probably isnt sustainable longer term, and i know its about sensible choices, but i am curious. Iv read some patients have ended up putting lot weight back on, and wondered how, given...

How do you feel yourself energywise 13mths out? Are you still losing weight or does that pretty much stop at some stage? Iv read allsorts between 12-18mths of the body catching on about the malabsorption of fats etc and finding other ways to get them in. Sneaky bugger haha
