Weird Pre-Op Symptom - Already Feel Banded!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have this?

I have trouble swallowing first thing in the morning.

I'm on the pre-op diet (two shakes and a Lean Cuisine) and eating the whole Lean Cuisine makes me feel sick.

I have head hunger, but surprisingly little stomach hunger.

If I eat too fast or take large bites, my stomach hurts and I get incredibly nauseous.

I had such bad gas last night, I felt like I would explode! LOL. Never had it that bad before. Needed to sort of -- arrange myself -- if you know what I mean :unsure: to allow the air to escape.

I'm sure it's all a big mind-freak -- I'm feeling "sympatico" to my own future self, but it's super weird...

Any other weirdos out there experiencing the same thing? :rolleyes:

The pre-op diet really was rough, but cant say I had the same issues.

Could just be a tummy bug or something.....unless a surgeon snuck into the house and banded me up while I was sleeping!

I too am on the pre op diet. I am not having issues with swallowing but I do find my self feeling sick after I eat even if its a small healthy meal. I cant say whats going on but I can say I over think everything and I am constantly thinking about after the surgery how to eat and all that I think it mental for me my brain is making me feel the way I do. Wishing you the best of luck

That's what I figure it is -- me thinking so much about the surgery, and reading so much about it, I've developed the symptoms! :lol:

I was feeling nauseous throughout the whole pre op diet! I didn't get to eat anything, strictly liquid diet, but boy oh boy did it make me queasy, gassy, and dizzy.

Well, I'm not HAPPY for you, but glad I'm not alone! :-)

Haha I thought maybe I was lactose intolerant? I've never noticed before because I never drank milk, ate yogurt, in excessive amounts until the pre op diet and thats when it all started. But I was very weak from not getting enough nutrition in, I skipped some Protein shakes because they made me so sick and I almost blacked out from showering! Scary experience! I hope it starts to get easier for you soon and that you don't have much longer to go on the pre op diet!

      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?
