I had my 3rd fill on Monday. I've been doing ok until last night. I had some issues with dinner but, they resolved themselves. Then before I went to bed I always take 1 of my medications and my daily Vitamin. I think the vitamin is stuck! It took a long time before I could go to sleep because of the chest pain. I figured it went down but, then I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I took a few sips of my Water and I spent the next hour back in pain and trying to throw up. Ugh! This morning I am not throwing up but, water wants to come up and there is no pain. What do I do? Will the vitamin disolve? Should I just wait a few hours and see if it resolves itself?

I haven't experienced that, but it sounds like maybe there's they filled to much. I use chewable Flintstone Multi-vitamins.

I was told no pills bigger than a peanut. lucky my meds are very small. And for Vitamins I take One a day gummies for adults. You are probably swollen due to dinner and pill getting stuck. Always a good idea to call your doctor for advise!!!!! Hope you feel better soon.

Flintstones Complete with CHOLINE. They are chewable, and they keep you pepped up.

I have been on them for 6 years now, and NO ! complaints here...

I think you should check with Doc.

But I can help with future, I was told I should take a liquid from now on and that plant derived works the best. This type will give you the best absorption rate, so you get he most for your money.

Thanks everyone! It finally either came unstuck or dissolved. But, I did not feel good for the rest of the day. I think things were swollen so I was only able to drink my Protein shakes. We'll see how today goes. Maybe they put a little too much Fluid in or maybe I just cant take these Vitamins anymore. I bought chewables last night. Not getting in that situation again!

On a good note I've lost 5 pounds this week! Yeah!

make sure to go on liquids for a day or so after a big stick like that - you're probably still a bit swollen.

      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.
