SO THEN I GO DRINK Water GO TO BATHROOM AND BEND OVER IT COMES RIGHT OUT AND FILLS SO MUCH BETTER. I CAN NOT STAND THE PAIN AND ALL IT TAKES IS THE WATER AND SIMPLY BENDING OVER OUT IT COMES.

I am new to this, and not on solid food yet, but it sounds like you are filled too tightly.....

How long has this tightness been going on? I struggle with certain foods which are often completely unpredictable and illogical but that is just the way I am. Could just be that those foods dont work for you. The other thing I find is that hormones have a big impact on my restriction - leading up to that time of the month I get really really tight and chicken breast, or any meat for that matter is out of the question - other times I can eat a full chicken breast - makes no sense.

Good luck getting the balance right - at the end of the day if you are not comfortable most of the time then it is probably best to get an unfill.

      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.
