seriously questioning dr test



Recommended Posts

I went to my dr for a fill and she said the thought my esoghous (spelling) was streched, and that i didnt really need a fill. So she procedded to have me swallow a whole mouth full of barrium and then take exrays to see if the fulid went down. Im at 3.4 in a 4cc band. I took a huge drink and swallowed down in one big gulp. she started the xrays that showed the liquid going down and then bouncing back up cause it hit the band, she then proceeded to say "see its streched cause it bounced back up, it should go right down". I became upset...my mind raced oh no ive done something wrong. She suggested a complete unfill where then I panicked and ran out of the room to my car and left,( no way in hell was i being unfilled) Then I started thinking that test doesnt seam right. of couse its gonna bounce back up im fairly tight and isnt it like a funnel u add a lot of liquid it will go down just slowly. So the question is am I missing something? Do I not understand the test? Any information on if im right or wrong would be so appricated.

Did she get a picture of your pouch? Can't tellnthat from your post. If she did and it's stretched then you need an unfill, unless you want further surgery... You decide. I, personally, have been there, done that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
