I’m so sorry to hear this, Lady Rose, dear. But, knowing you, I’m sure that – like a Weeble – once you pick yourself up from this latest wave that wobbled your world, you’ll find the solution to all of the aspects of the problem. Just put that amazing mind of yours to work, OK?

Much love, and I’ll be tossing lots of WL over the river to you!

Thanks to you both for your support and advice. After a few days of adjusting to the news I’m feeling confident I can take care of it – I see the cardiologist in May and will be seeing the weight loss surgery director next week and hopefully will get more info. and work out a plan from there

I too am very sorry to hear this. Mama Kelly had some great advice, plus your cardiologist may able to help out with suggestions on how to deal with GERD and heart issues. This Mama Cooks!s last blog post..Organic peanut butter review

Oh hun!!! I don’t know what to say other than Im sorry for another complication being thrown into the mix.

The gastritis itself may not be permanent, it is very possible that it would resolve with your elimination of aspirin and dietary changes … but in so far as the Barrett’s esophagus … Normally GERD is treated with Proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid (which are available over the counter)

I would call your cardiologist office and ask what to do since aspirin is no longer allowable (they can put you on a different kind of blood thinner) and call the gastric bypass clinic and see if you can (at least temporarily) take the GERD meds so you can work at clearing everything up in time for surgery.

Obesity itself is a common cause of GERD, as Im sure you know, so I doubt that you would be eliminated for surgery as it would be a condition they could reasonably expect to resolve as you lose the weight.

I love you
