Any one have a that was stupid moment?



Recommended Posts

I went through the first couple of months without a stuck episode, but have had a few minor ones since my fill. All due to my own fault of getting distracted while eating and swallowing too fast. Usually within seconds, I think that was dumb on my part because I know it was going to get caught even before it did.

My whole life seems to be one big "that was stupid" moment! (j/k)

I actually just had one two nights ago. I was eating mostaccioli and wasn't paying attention. I was too busy talking with my family. Next thing I knew, I was sliming up a storm and really stuck. It ended up being only the second time I've ever PB'd since being banded.

We all have moments like that I think :)

Mastaciolli - that's what I like to hear! How much volume can you handle?

I love hearing that you only have PB'd twice Missy. I have not yet and have been banded for six months and sometimes I wonder, is everything really working in there? But I am losing and following the rules so I'm guessing that helps.

You have done phenom!!

Yes! Since my last fill, I have gotten (mildly) stuck on chicken twice. The last time I walked away from my dinner for the night and it was a bit painful. I have not yet PB'd or Slimed though.

The worst I find, is when your child is wanting you to answer questions mid-chew. lol

I have had a few of those moments. Nothing as bad as getting stuck or PB'ing. Just that discomfort feeling of something working it's way VERY slowly through the band. Then I know I either took too big of a bite or just didn't chew well enough before swallowing.

The worst for me is when I wait too long before eating and I am soooo hungry, I go back to old eating habits, and the band always lets me know it.

There are times that as I swallow and feel the food going down my throat that I know I will soon be visiting the porcelain throne. But by then it is too late and I simply stop eating to see whether or not it is going to make it through.

One stick in 7 months post op. Was eating a turkey frank and did not cut it up small enough and then did not chew well and swallowed and had a stuck. Did not PB or slim but was uncomfortable for about 30 minutes. Got up and walked around until it went through. Was not thinking. This AM ate one half of a strawberry and thought it was going to stick, but it went through ok but I had to stop eating for about 3 minutes until I was sure it was down.

      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?
