What Happened To Me?



Recommended Posts

Hello, First of all let me apologize for bothering you guys with such a dumb question, but you guys are the only people aside from my surgeon that can help me.

I'm scheduled for my much needed 2nd fill on the 27th of this month (wow! next week!) ... anyway, lately I have been very very hungry, so hungry that I have caught myself not waiting long enough between bites (i know, bad gabbi!) ....

Today I was eating some Mini Swiss cheese & Turkey Squares, right after my last bite I started getting pain on the pit of my stomach, followed by a painful feeling of something moving "through"....???.... i could of sworn i even heard it (im not crazy! lol) .....im sorry it's just so hard to explain. It went away after 5 minutes...i have never experienced this and for that reason im super paranoid that something happened to my band *cries*.... could this of been my very 1st stuck episode? I have also been taking Miralax for the past 3 days..could it of been my intestines? once again sorry for the dumb question....but any tips, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced pain the pit of my stomach. My two "stuck" episodes came from eating baby carrots two fast/not chewing well enough. Pain towards the back. VERY uncomfortalbe. I had no fills at that point. Have eaten carrots after 3 fills.

Sounds like a stuck episode that worked it's way through the band...That happens to me and yes I can feel it Move Through as far as hearing it it was probably gas escaping when the obstruction passed...Good luck and just remember eat slow and chew well...

      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?
