My doctor is going to start me on something at next appt and I would like to be informed about the best med for WLS patients...... > my surgeon and my ortho agreed that fasomax and actonel are pouch burners and the risk to the new digestive tract is not worth the risk of taking such a harsh med. the script of choice is Miacalcin - its a nasal spray you use for 6mo. and it halts bone loss - works very well for spine and some for hip. you alternate nostrils each a.m. - it is refrigerated when you purchase it. docs usually have some coupons for the first script being free or at least I lucked out several times with free ones. for some people they get nose irritation or sores - I did not. its worth trying as its harmless compared to the other options which could very well ulcerate your pouch and esophagus. sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
