I was sleeved on 2/12 and I've noticed that after I swallow purée food because that's the stage I'm on now I feel like a cramp I guess that's the best way to describe it but it feels like its at the bottom of my stomach I thought I was eating to fast but I've been timing my bites and using baby spoons until I get the hang of it I've been waiting a min of two minutes between bits I'm worried I have a leak or stricture for those of you who have had these problems what were your signs and symptoms ? What made you thinks something was wrong? When I had a lapband my port flipped and had band slippage and my symptoms were different from what my doc said and what I researched so I would love to hear from others experiences

I was sleeved on Jan 10th one week form surgery I developed a leak I was taken by ambulance and stayed 5 days in hospital .They did not have to go back in but I could not eat for 2 days and then they put a pic line in .If you have a leak you will know you get the most horrible pains up your shoulders and get very clammy and weak .I turned gray and my blood sugar shot way high and pulse went way low .Good luck to you as of today I still feel kinda crappy after I eat but it is getting better.

      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?
