Got my 4th fill today lots of burping and oddness...



Recommended Posts

I got my 4th fill today which brought me to 6 cc's in a 10 cc band. My surgeon said most people hit their sweet spot between 5 and 6. I drank Water and it went down fine.

I'm on liquids now. I'm burping like mad and I sometimes feel like I have air trapped. Like I need to burp and can't. I'm not using straws or drinking anything carbonated. Is this normal or is my band maybe too tight?

Earlier I was drinking some Water. It went down fine but a few minutes later I got this overwhelming urge to throw up. My mouth started watering like mad and I fought the urge to throw up for almost 5 minutes until it passed.

Is this normal? I go back on foods Thursday.

You sound very close to maximum restriction. Yeah I definitely got the feelings you described as I got close to my sweet spot. But remember the fill would have you extra tight right now, so stay on liquids (go SLOW with them) and take it easy when you got back onto solid foods. Make sure you chew well and eat slowly.

Try not to PB, coz that causes even more swelling and can take you to the point of feeling way too tight and/or needing some fill out. Hopefully in a week or so things settle and you can 'test' your restriction levels to see if you're too tight, too loose or just right.

      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?
