HELP! Slippage? Food Stuck? What is wrong?



Recommended Posts

My History:

Banded 3/08

Very Sensitive to fills!

I have had a rough time with fills. I swell very easily and have numerous fills taken out. My dr. filled me very slowly and I have had my last fill 8/09. It has lasted and I am doing very well.

I also take it very easy and eat only what I should and am very careful because I don't want to lose my fill. Since August I have lost the majority of my weight.

Last few days...

For two days I have suddenly felt very tight to the point of not being able to keep liquids down! sipping Water and it is coming up. I have a lot of discomfort.

I am worried that my band has slipped but do not have any idea how that could have happened!

Seeing my dr. first thing monday am but was hoping for some insight to make it through this weekend.

You might be too tight.

Any other symptoms? Do you have reflux? Metalic taste in your mouth? Heaviness in your chest?

I've slipped/prolapsed twice.

Please let us know what the Dr says. I am having the same problems and my Dr is mystified.

I had 2 cc in my band,1 after 1 month then another in Dec. (Banded in Sept 2009)

I lost the weight by watching everything I eat, and I cut out most sweets. Don't seem to crave them anymore which is great.

For the past three months when I take the first bite I feel stuck and can't swallow even the saliva and have to bring up that food. It sometimes takes 30 minutes to get it up because I can't make myself vomit. I try drinking a big gulp of liquid and all that comes up is the liquid or saliva. Then I can eat the rest of my dinner without a problem but I am sick of eating cold food.

Tuesday I had 1 cc taken out (so now I have 1 cc). I ate good Tuesday and Wednesday but last night I took one bite and brought up saliva for 3 hours. It was the worst night of my life, and I wound up breaking a few blood vessels in my eyes from the vomiting and now my eyes are bloodshot.

I called my Dr and was told to do shakes for a few days and then back to soft, but I can't even stomach the shakes, my stomach feels so queasy.

      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.
