what is wrong with me....



Recommended Posts

So I was banded in March had a fantastic start. Dropped 20 PDS in the first two weeks. Got my first fill May 1st and did pretty good (nobody mentioned it would hurt to get your first fill lol) well now the last 3 days I've been getting sick no vomit but salty saliva and sometimes the gut reaction but no vomit. I've chewed and chewed and I've drank and drank. Fluids perfectly fine...foods not so hot. Nothing taste good I would rather just drink fluids all day. Tmi moment approaching (I'm just starting my woman time) is KT possible my band is just oober tight from the fill and my woman time (noticed it got tight last month too) I'm not sure if I'm battling an illness or if its band related. Oh and in case your wondering I'm not prego lol.

I read a post a little while ago where someone mentioned that they get tight around that time of the month. I'm not banded yet plus I had a hysterectomy so I can't speak from personal experience. But from what I read it does seem possible. Good luck.

I do definitely tighten up around that time of the month. Without a doubt.

When you say "sick" and "gut reaction", do you mean retching? Like the act of vomiting but without the vomit? If so, you need to contact your doctor to figure out the cause. Even if nothing actually comes up, if you're retching you are putting your band at risk.

Yeah I noticed it last month but I'm not sure if I have a stomach bug or if my tummys upset from being tighter due to woman time and a new fill or what's going on. :/ just makes me nervous because I need this tool and went through to much to get it.

Yeah I have had mostly salty watery mouth and I've dry heaved a few times. Most of it just feels like my stomach turning and the salty watery mouth which to me is the worst. I work hard not to dry heave for that whole reason of not hurting my band.

      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?
