Ahead of Schedule-NSV (soft of)
Just had my 3 month check up and the doc told me that my weight loss was a ahead of schedule! He gave me some suggestions on my acid reflux to see if I can get off the PPI, but otherwise...all is good! I was even complimented by those in the waiting room going in for their first consultations. All in all..a good start for the day.
They originally had me on Prilosec. But I felt it wasn't working the way I wanted. So I stayed on it until I hit 2 months out and asked if I could go to Zegrid which is a large capsule. They said yes. That really helped. But my GERD did get a little worse after surgery that it was leaving me with Acid Throat every morning. So I started taking Zantac right before I fell asleep. Perfect combo.
But because PPIs have a long term effect on people, he suggested I try Zantac in the morning and one again at night to see if I can get off the Zegrid. If not, that is okay, but we will keep an eye out for any long term issues.
