I sure do feel for you. You had a lot happen all at once! You don't say how well things are staying down. If you can't keep fluids down, I would call the doc. Actually, you might want to call and let them know what's going on. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks. Im keeping things down great. After a 13 mnths being banded Im pretty much a pro at knowing my limits and how to prevent vomitting and PBing. I for sure keep liquids down, but some days they hurt going down but I am a gulper so thats my fault. But ya 13 months out I usually can eat my steak and chicken and pork and right now its like no go. Ill just give it time

I went through the same thing, got a cold or the flu or something and I am still fighting tightness and it is 3 weeks later. Nothing really sticking, but I do have to be more careful!

There is a good chance that your illnesses caused you to become dehydrated. Whenever I am dehydrated for whatever reason, I am tighter. When I am 100% myself again, things get back to normal. Just a thought.

I bet! I get tighter when I am just stressed not even sick, so I can imagine what you are going through. Just be careful and eat as slow as you can. I hope you feel better soon.

      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.
