Stuck feeling and weird shallow burp



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm about 10 days post op and 4th day on phase 2.

Since surgery I've felt like there's something stuck in my throat. Saw my surgeon a week after and he said that's normal and can last up to a month.

Does anyone else have it or had it?

Also for the past 4-5 months I've had this weird shallow burp/hiccup. When it started I had the band and they kept taking Fluid out thinking the issue was caused by the band being too tight. After the band was completely emptied it slipped but went up instead of down. Had it removed. Before that I had an endoscopy, then an esophagus test where they put a tube up my nose and down into my throat to check the motility of my esophagus. All these tests showed nothing.

My surgeon thought maybe I had scar tissue from my original lap band surgery and hernia and that he would take care of it during my sleeve surgery and it would be gone. WRONG! I now am still in pain from the sleeve surgery....still have those annoying horrible throat burp/hiccups and yesterday I tried eating a small piece of fish and was vomiting and dry heaving so bad I thought for sure I popped internal stitches. I'm at my wits end! Anyone have/had any of these problems and can maybe shed some light?

Only positive is that I've lost a lot since I either can't eat or afraid to. Negative is I'm probably not getting anywhere near enough food, liquid or Vitamins.

Hopeless and regretting surgery.

I had the stuck feeling. Mine showed up after a bout of thrush and went away after the thrush went away and I started taking an allergy pill because I was getting crazy post nasal drip post op. Haven't had it since but have read it plenty of times. Not sure about the shallow burp.

      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?
