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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
