Weird Feeling in chest



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on August 17th and lately as I'm progressing to soft foods and even mushy I get this feeling in my chest maybe like the food getting stuck maybe? I'm not sure what that the stuck feeling feels like? It hurts pretty bad and feels like I'm going to throw up. It could happen on my first bite so it's not when Im getting full. Ive tried taking smaller bites and chewing much much more. Still happens. Any advise?

Since you were just banded it could be that your band isnt ready for the food you are eating. I know that when I cheated once before it was time, it hurt to eat that kind of food. You might be swollen still.

Maybe stay on liquids for a while longer and contact your doctor if you really worried.

Go back to fluids for a day or two, and then try the soft foods again. You may still be a little swollen.

thanks I think its just a trial and error thing with soft foods. Boy does it suck though when it hurts.

I was banded the same day as you! I have had some discomfort as i switch to mushies. It's helped me to aet a lot slower. I hope we can stay in touch since we are on the same time frame. When do you get filled? I get filled on Sept. 28th.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
