bad reflux or a problem brewing?



Recommended Posts

It's been a painful interjection in my sleep - started throwing up in bed, out of the blue. never had reflux issues before. threw up 7 or 8 times. hard wretching, bringing up digested food.....gross... hadn't eaten since 7pm, this was around midnight. wasn't stuck on food, no pain before hand. sipping on warm tea right now to ease pain in my throat.

was banded in dec 08, been losing nice an steady since then. am kinda concerned, any thoughts??:cool:

I was banded in August of '08 and I had the same issue this past fall.

Your band is too full and you need some fill removed. It got to the point where the smell of food made me sick, then I got pretty sick and my surgeron ordered all of the fill to be removed. Dont wait, get some fill out now.

I had to start at ground zero one year out. I am finally restricted again, but now I am relearning what I can handle better.

      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.
