Could be something in the gummies that is giving you headaches like food coloring and the hurting in your throat could be the vit swelling after you swallow or right before. Either way asap to lapband doc this isn't normal. Goodluck. I'm a newbie myself and get alot of headaches but since on liquids nary a one. Getting allergy testing. I tested a few years ago for environmental she pricked me 10x and I was allergic to all10. This time testing food allergies. I have alot of sinus problems and if it feels like you can't swallow your throat maybe trying to close. I wouldn't take those vit. I take flintstones chewable until I get my new order of really good ones... chewable tabs. I hope you figure this out . If it's not the band then I would get allergy tested.

      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.
