Donali, is pic #1 of yours a pic of your stoma looking down from the espohogus?

Yes, both Penni's pic #2 (first one, but labeled #2) and my first pic are looking down into the pouch above the band.

Penni was unfilled, but I was not - my pic is showing my restriction at 2.6cc.

Please note that from above, everything looks hunky-dory - it's obvious that a barium swallow would funnel through the opening in the pouch - not flow around the band.

Also please note that once the barium has come through the stoma, there was no chance for it to flow around either of our bands, as mine was just coming through the stomach walls, and Penni's had not yet cleared the stomach walls, so the stomach walls/band would have been a "solid" wall for the barium, and barium-wise, all would look fine.

Penni,

I hope all goes well. I am thinking of you. You are such a sweet person and I know you will be fine.

Am I missing something or WHAT HAPPENED? Did you have symptoms?

Christine.

P.S Let's try and get together again after you feel better. I have tons of free time on my hands.

      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.
