Burning Feeling

[Elinjacksmom 5]

I'm 4 weeks post op today. I was wondering if anyone else was dealing with an issue I'm having. All day long I feel like I'm choking on something it's almost like a heartburn feeling. I'm taking my Pepcid & also other meds to help but it's getting to the point it's interfering with my eating. I feel like when I start to eat I'm choking also.

I'm just very frustrated & just wonder if all of these issues are ever going to go away so I can enjoy actually eating again. Just feel very frustrated & really ready to feel "normal" again.

Are u sure your burning sensation is not that?

I am 3 weeks out and have almost given up on feeling normal again or at least for the next few months. I do have the burning feeling at times and personally made the decision to up my PPI to twice a day (in the morning and before bed), it's working so far and is the only way I can survive right now. I will continue doing this until my next doctor's visit (8/29) and for me to stop he is going to have to seriously give me a valid reason.

I'm guessing that it is just acid that is causing this but I'm taking the Pepcid in the morning & at night. I'm also taking another med 30 min before each meal & I'm still dealing with this.

I'm worried if it's acid if it could affect the healing of the sleeve or cause any other issues.

It's issues like this that make me wonder why I even did this.

Really? I may call my dr tomorrow & ask about that one. I'm currently taking Metoclopramide which is the generic for Reglan

Well to let some of you know who are feeling similar symptoms they are going to do a scope to dilate the esophagus. Apparently this is somewhat common to have this. It basically has spazzums & that is causing the chocking issue. They use a scope to check on everything & then dialate the esophagus to help with swallowing.

They are also changing my medicine to help with the acid issue.

Very interesting, thanks for the info. I will email my doctor's RN now just to inquire about the issues I am having. She hasn't realy been helpful so far (brushing everything off as normal with advice to take more pain meds) but we'll see.

isajck to me that's what they are there for to help you during this very hard & life changing process.

The doctor acted like this was a somewhat common side effect & that I would feel much better after this was done.

Good luck to you & hope you are feeling better soon!!

I have come to realize that my doctor's staff is one of those where pre-op they are all involved, no question to small and every email answered quickly but post-op....it's has been a whole different story. Guess I should not be surprised.
