Did you get a recent fill, did you have a stuck episode, or did this randomly occur. Staying hydrated is paramount. Without proper fluids the cells in your body are less buoyant, to include those in the esophagus which can perpetuate the 'tightness' you are experiencing. Also makes you susceptible to irritation/inflammation making this a slippery slope. If you cannot even pass fluids, that's an emergency an warrants an unfill until everything settles down. Be careful hon..you don't want to set yourself up for worse scenarios

      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.
