I am 5 months post, down 100 pounds.....when I eat I have a weird feeling in my stomach, sometimes it feels like it could be in my throat. It is kind of a toss between something feeling like it's a little caught up and almost a empty feeling. It's not particularly pleasant and lasts for quite a while sometimes without going away. Anyone else out there have any similar feelings? It's really my main complaint. Thx!

I think I am, but I'm going to chew more! Your results are phenomenal! Congratulations. I hope to lose about 40 more pounds. My start was 305, and I'm at 205 right now. Thx for the response.

You're probably not thoroughly chewing your food. I always keep in mind and use the rule of thumb; Minimum 30 chews per mouthful.

      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.
