Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 I take Propulsid and another one, can't remember the name of it. Great big capsule 2 colors. No problem since I started taking these meds. I'll check the name of the other one and get back to you. Pepsid worked for me for years and then it pooped out. I've had the endoscopy EGD procedure several times. You'll be fine but the real cure comes from having the mini gastri bypass surgery and losing weight which is what I am living for!!!!! Plese God let it happen soon!!!!! It's all I think about 24 - 7. Toodle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Ok now I have all my info in front of me. I take one Prevacid a day which is 30 mg and Propulsid twice a day which are 20 mg each. This keeps the reflux well undercontrol for now. Like I said I use to take 40 mg of Pepsid a day and it got so it didn't do much for me. Thank God this problem is taken care of as it can really make life like " agony " for you.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Carlissa, Thanks i have been doing research as every night on it. I can't say i am too happy with getting it but then i suppose no one would be. I am a bit confused as today i was eating my low carb diet and i had like a gall attack.. dumping. it was lovely at work and all. Is it possible both my gallbladder is going bad and i now have reflux? do they go hand in hand? i guess i am special that way i will have my scan on the 14th so that will let me know about the gallbladder .. then i am praying my reflux or whatever it is is gone by the 19th of nov or i'll have to have an endoscope. ick! then i should be cleared for surgery i hope. Does anyone know if you need to have the Gallbladder out does Dr R do it himself or does he have another surgeom do that? i ask becuase i will be paying out of network and if that is the case i will unwilling have the gallbladder done here lap for no cost. Have a great evening diana approved for surgery waiting for date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 , Thanks for the info. i was taking prevacid and it didn't help at all without lots of mylanta on top. So now i am on the propulsid and carafate. its sorta helps sorta doesn't. i am hoping in the long run it all clears up Good luck in your fight with the INS company Have a great night, diana approved for surgery waiting for date.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 There are soooooooooo many ways to get information on REFLUX or GERD. Just go to one of your search engines and type in Reflux or GERD and more info than you are willing to read will pop up.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I think that you would benefit best by calling Dr. Rutledge and have a phone consultation.
