Ever since Sunday, I have been getting stuck on anything that is solid, such as meat. I'm sure part of it is due to not eating smaller bites. But with getting stuck, it has been really painful, more so than normal, and I end up throwing up 8-10 times, from only two bites! I woke up Monday with slight stomach pain, this morning with MAJOR stomach pain, and I felt like I still had something stuck in my esophogus. It finally went away once I started to drink, but I'm playing it safe and just having liquids only for the next 24 hours. I'm hoping and praying that it's not my band getting stuck! It's only been since my period this time around (I was banded in December '11).

Also, I am going on vacation in two weeks, and seeing my surgeon next week. I was told that bandsters can get tight when flying, should I ask to have some Fluid removed? I'm hesitant, because other than this recent episode, I don't have any restriction. Matter of fact, since my surgery, I've lost very few pounds. I went from 218 day of, to right now, fluctuating from 201-205. I cannot get past 201! This is making me very miserable and wondering if I made the right decision. Especially being on mainly liquids since Monday morning, and I've GAINED! WTH is going on?!

      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?
