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 who is a colleague of his) the tests show i dont have ACID reflux. Yes thats right, oh and to cap it all, i was given 2 suggested treatment ideas. Gaviscon (!!) and trial of sucrafate, and maybe see an ENT about possible burning throat sensation (totally ignoring fact that if bothered to look at my throat they would see it is dark purple and practically blistering on daily basis, worse after food). Also swept aside fact that an ENT Consultant had examined my nose and throat last year, and was satisfied no issue at their end but advised me to get GI input re. Reflux.
Would really like to talk to someone who has had bile reflux issues post bypass, and what was done to resolve it. Particularly curious about tests carried out
