OK so I'm starting to worry...



Recommended Posts

:bored:I've had my band for a year now and haven't really had that many problems other than being super tight in the mornings. I've had a couple un-adjustments due to this tightness. Well the other day I weighed and I've gained several pounds so I decided it was time to tighten things back up. Day one of adjustment just clear liquids..it was all fine. Day two had clear and full liquids and then a little Soup at night. So today I had three bites of a frosty around lunch and have been PBing ever since. I don't feel the food in there any more but my mouth won't stop salivating and it is making me need continue to PB. I'm worrying about slippage and I know I'll probably end up in the DR office tomorrow doing a barium swallow. Anyone know what to do for now though?:smile2:

Since you just had a fill, it is much more likely it is too tight rather than it slipped. I have trouble keeping anything down when I first get a fill, but am fine in the next day or two.

I do better with hot or warm stuff than with cold or frozen. I would go with warm broth for a day then try again with something warm. Hope you feel better soon.

What did you find out? Hope you are feeling better now.

You are swollen for a few days up to two weeks after a fill. Just take it easy but if you can't get Water down, you need to go get some taken out asap!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
