Gastroperisis or stricture

I am 10 months post op and I still get full off of Water. If I take too big of a drink or don't wait long enough between sips of water I can feel it creeping up the back of my throat. I don't vomit, just feel it sitting there. Also I have to wait longer then an hour after eating anything before drinking. When I eat 3oz of dense Protein I feel full for well over an hour. The constant feeling of fullness might sound like as blessing, but it's hard to meet my water goal for the day. It's even harder when I can only drink 10-12oz of water in an hour. I am self pay, so if it is a stricture I have to pay out of pocket for anything to fix it. Also I do have MS and one complication of MS is gastroperisis. Just so confused and over feeling full all the dang time...

Sound like a good time to go to a Doc and have it looked at. Best of luck with that! I don't know that much about the lap-band,(thats what your label says) so won't be that much help...

I have an appointment with my neurologist who works at the same hospital as my surgeon and knows my surgeon and about my surgery.... I will talk to him to get his thoughts. If no success there I have my 1 year post op coming up soon. Don't feel that this is an emergency like a leak. Was just wondering if anyone who has either could share their symptoms so I could possibly have a starting point. My healing & weight loss has been smooth. But if around my 1 year mark I'm still stuck at 163 I will talk to my neurologist about trying the 5:2. Kind of like to get his blessing before I start anything new. Got his approval before the surgery. Just like to keep him informed. Ah the joys of an unpredictable chronic "illness"....

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
