Saw a video on utube where one person claims getting tested for food allergies helped them avoid foods that triggered heartburn, has anyone tried this?

Something I have thought about since the surgery is car wrecks. I know any wreck is bad, but are we more prone to injury since having VSG? Just have a friend on Instagram get in a wreck 2 days ago where her car flipped over, today she is going to hospital with stomach cramps and a little blood in her mouth, this is scary. Sorry, trying not to be negative but realistically , are we more prone to issues in a wreck?

My insurance has accepted me but now I have to go through 3 months of nutrition & psych evaluations. This depresses and puts me into anxiety for the delay. I know about nutrition, I am 54, give me a break.
