do you think it was the chili?? thats not good. it doesnt seem long enough since surgery though to be having spices i would imagine. what do you think? i know with all my surgeries the most intense healing period is the following six weeks. perhaps to leave the spices for about three months?/ Have they established that you definately have dilation of the esophagus?? is that going to be a big problem for you?? i hope that its not.

I honestly don't know if it was the chili, but I do know i had 4cc filler in my band from surgery. So he took it out. He said my symptoms where not typical, but you can't compare since everyone is different. So I'm on liquids till I feel better then I can try mushies. Maybe I was just over tight and need to heal. I go back in 3 weeks. And no it was not a confirmed case of dilation. But def. have reflux back. At least I can get more liquids in now :)

.. at least you can get liquids in. how scary. im not having any filler at all when the band is inserted apparantly. i did ask the dr about that. i think i do prefer that. i reckon there will be enough swelling without any fill for a while. i hope that your problem eases very quickly.

I am 1 1/2 weeks post op and I love spicy foods. A bottle of Franks sits on my dining table. No problems eating it at all

I think if we were used to eating certain foods then our bodies will be more accepting of those foods again.

I love chili Beans (they are my comfort foods) and I have never had any problems. I ate the juice in the beginning and now can eat the Beans also. A friend of my stays away from the beans she said they do a number of her stomach.

Everyone is different

      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?
