Pooh -- I'm glad you're seeing your doc tomorrow; I'm sure s/he will want to know about the sliming and can make a decision about the fill. Good luck and let us all know what was going on.

My doc said that two extra strenth Tums were enough calcium for the day, and you can chew them up. I haven't had any problems with them, so that might work better for you. Good luck!

My nutritionist said to keep some Adolf's Meat Tenderizer on hand and mix a little bit in warm water to help break up the blockage.

My surgery was 4 days ago and I feel ok except for bloating and pain in my diaphragm when I take in a deep breath. Is that unusual or just a normal thing? I did not have the shoulder pain that I was almost expecting.

Thanks Dana; as you know it always helps to know that others are experiencing similar things! Donna

Thanks for your response about the shoulder pain. I am only a little concerned about it becaue I have some shoulder problems to begin with, wanted to know if it will get worse. I see you are 54 -- I am 62 (63 in Aug.) and was concerned that I wouldn't find too many older folks online, so it was good to see your info. even though you're a lot younger than I am!
Good luck with the post-surgery routine. Are you still on clear liquids or have you graduated to other stuff? Dflorio

I'm glad I found this site; other generic WLS sites don't have the info I'm looking for so here I am. I live in the Central Coast area of California, will be having my surgery (if all goes well with the insurance) on July 21 with Dr. Pamela Foster in Burlingame, CA. I have a question about the shoulder pain mentioned so often -- does anyone know what causes it? Does it happen to most patients? Thanks!

Thanks for shoulder pain info; I'll check with my surgeon next visit. When was your surgery? How are you doing? -
In my case the surgeon's office handed me a list of professionals (dietitians, psychologists, etc.) to choose from and I just got lucky with the one I picked.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but met with a psychologist in the San Jose, CA area. It was great because she had the surgery about a year ago, and told me to feel free to ask her questions, which I did. I feel like she will be a great resource to see after surgery (scheduled for July 21) also. Mostly the discussion will be around your support systems, your own expectations and your willingness to follow the plan.
