Food stuck! Pain for over 8+ hours



Recommended Posts

Yeah you got the food stuck alright! It is painful and just as you described! The bubbles are because your body is attempting to process it' date=' but cant so mucus sputum forms all around it so you can sick it up.[/quote']

I ended up calling the surgeon they told me don't eat just drink but as long as I can keep liquids down I should be ok. It still hurts but not as much, I hope it just goes away! It's been a whole day. I think it might be moving though and I was able to get my pills down. Def don't want to pay 100 for a ER copay if I have to wait it out!

It happen to me today. I wasn't in hours of pain but my stomach was killing me. I had a few fried fries & clam strips. I thought I was gonna die. It came out opposite of vomiting.

Oh that sounds painful mami, hope you feel better

Plus er visits are sooo long and complicated. By the time you are seen, you will feel better and then they want to keep you just to torture you it seems. Plus give you all sorts of testing. I went once post op because I couldnt eat. Worst experience ever! I only had a swollen pouch but I was put through hell. I tild myself that next time I will.wait until I knew for certain that there was a problem. So uncomfortable away from home.

      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?
