Esophagus hurts?



Recommended Posts

Sometimes I think I make up problems, but this one threw me. Am I crazy? Is that my esophagus hurting? Sure seems to be. I am in disbelief. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Anybody know why it would? If you have been lurking here the last couple of days, you know that my first fill isn't taking place until Monday and I don’t have any restriction. But yet, here lurks the evidence that something is different. There must be a band there after all?! LOL In all seriousness, however, thought, ideas, concerns? Share share.

Oh my gosh that took 10 minutes to find. La Madam also has a thread she started on Esophogitis but I'll bow out and let you look that one up...dinner's burning! LOL

Read up and rethink your fill maybe. Let me know if I'm on the right track with your throat hurting.

Is that my esophagus hurting

How do you know that its your esophagus?

Being overly analytical about our bodys mechanisms with this new device is MOST CERTAINLY commen! Its where we have to figure out what is normal and whats not - that is so hard to do.

I don't know why I doubt myself so much, but I always wonder if I am nuts. It certainly feels like where my food goes down is where it hurts. the whole thing, top to bottom, from where I swallow, to my little tummy. Not burning, but just aches, I guess. It never happened to me before the band, though, and started a week or two in. It, naturally, follows eating. I guess I should defintely look at those links. Thank you for taking the time to find them!!!

Does it bother you when you drink liquids? Or it just when you eat solids?

Ive heard of bandsters having spasms in their esophagus when the food goes down. Im wondering if it could be somthing like this.

DEFINATELY let your doctor know though. It may be nothing, but it could be something!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
