Help! I'm suddenly too tight...



Recommended Posts

On Tuesday I got a tiny fill of .2 cc's. I stayed on liquids and then mushies and then on Friday I tried real food. I had no problems. Yesterday I ate real food and even ate out at supper with no problems.

This morning I drank my coffee and took my meds- 9 pills total- no problem. Then at noon I tried to eat some Greek Yogurt. I ate it slowly. It took almost 40 minutes to finish it and it got stuck. I threw it up. Now when I drink I can feel my liquids trickling down and If I take a big drink rather than a sip it feels like it's going to come back up. I burp a lot and then it will finally go down.

What's the deal? I swallowed my pills this morning with no issues so what's going on now?

Is it possible I irritated my band by swallowing the pills? They were all small except for 2 and those 2 were gelcaps.

If you got stuck, it couldbe you stomach swelled some. Stick to liquids for the rest of the day, and you can try taking some children's motrin for the sweeling. Peronally, I uually get stuck on yogurt. One of those things that stumps me, but whether I'm loose or tight, it just doesn't go down.

I'm hungry so I just tried a few spoonfuls of chicken and stars Soup. I stayed away from the chicken and just ate the mushy stuff-pasta and carrots.

After 5 bites I got that stuck pain in my chest and it all came back up:(

I'm going to try some liquid Motrin and make some warm tea and see how that goes.

I guess maybe one of my pills was stuck and I just didn't realize it. I started drinking warm tea and by the third cup I was feeling much better and everything I drink goes down just fine now. I've never had that happen before, ever.

That's good. It's a really crappy feeling when liquids don't want to stay down. I try to sip at times like that, they stay down better. I'm glad you're feeling better!!!

      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.
