Recommended Posts

For the past 2 months I've been miserable - only able to eat slidder foods - never being able to keep down solid food. I just kept thinking that I wasn't chewing enough or taking to big of bites. Of course, I also wasn't loosing much, because as soon as I got thru getting rid of what was stuck, I would eat something easy, which was usually not "looser weight" friendly.

Anyway, last night was the worst. I had finally became so sick, I couldn't keep liquids down, couldn't lay down & felt like I was choking. I didn't know what to do, but after spending most of the night on-line, I figured it out - I needed to call my doctor.

What I thought was normal, was not - I was too tight. This morning she took out 1 cc & I'm finally starting to feel better. I just want to let everyone know, that this site is so helpful - not only did it help me understand what was happening to me, it helped me be able to communicate what was going on to my Dr.

Tx again

Been there, done that. I had them take 2.75cc out of my band in mid-July because I was getting stuck on everything but the bad for you sliders. I'm back up 2cc and have some restriction. I'm thinking *maybe* another .25cc or less and I'll be at the sweet spot.

Rstoun...you will learn waaaaaaaay more on LBT than you will from your doc and his staff (at least that is was I have gotten from many posts on this site). There's so much info to take in and learn from the experience of others.

Hope you stick around for the pure benefit of picking up tips and to share your experience also.

Hope this unfill puts you on the right tract and you can start to eat more healthy foods and see the benefit from that. Good luck!

      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.
