Bloated/full Feeling?!?!

[ballajones 61]

I'm hoping one of you may have an answer. I was banded 7 months ago haven't had a fill yet. Just recently I started getting a bloated full feeling like I can't take a deep breath. My dr ruled out h. pylori as that seems to be a to be a problem with me. It's worse while sitting and gets better when standing. Drinking/eating anything makes it worse

Maybe you should see a gynaecologist, bloating can be a sign of ovarian cancer so you should get that ruled out.

Hello. Sorry for how you are feeling. Just curiously, was it your PCP who ruled out h.pylori, and how is it ruled out (what tests are done)? Has your lap band surgeon done a barium swallow test to take a look at your band?

Does it resolve slowly, did he rule out bowel obstruction. Do you have diabetes? I would make an appt with surgeon to rule out band slippage.

Thanks all

I do have an appt with my OB-GYN because I'm not having periods. The h. pylori test is a breath test. I'm not diabetic. And I'll be calling my surgeon tomorrow. He wanted to rule out h. Pylori before I did a barium swallow/ endoscopy. For now I'm putting myself on full liquids.< /p>
