sour tummy?



Recommended Posts

Greetings!

I am postop almost one year and am filled at 2.5 cc in a 4.0 band. I received my last fill about 3 months ago and while I was pretty tight, I had no discomfort to speak of. As a matter of fact, I've been really blessed and have not vomited, PB'd, or experienced any other malady due to my band, BUT for the past 3 weeks or so I have been experiencing a very marked sour stomach as soon as I begin eating and then afterward. I've tried eating less, eating slower, adjusting the type of food, but if I make contact with food, I have this experience.

My question is, is this something I should be concerned about or is it acid reflux? When I had surgery, I had a hernia repaired and have had ZERO reflux symptoms since then so this is unusual. I've done some reading here, but it doesn't seem to be consistent with a slip? Just wanted to see if anyone has any words of wisdom before I seek out my physician's advice.

Thanks!

Kelli

I haven't come across any posts that directly address this situation, perhaps you should direct your question to Dr. C....I'm sure he can help you.

Good luck, hope everything works out okay for you.

I had the same syptoms. I took Pepcid AC for a couple of days and haven't had the reflux return for 6 months. I would start there. You probably have acid reflux for sure. Good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
