Could it be air or gas?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 11 weeks out. I used to be able to eat fine and without pain, but the last couple of days, I feel full all the time and I can only eat half of the portion I used to eat. I eat the same thing everyday and the same amount, but the last couple of days I can only eat half of the portion and I feel like when I did when I was like 4 weeks out, when I first started to eat solids. It hurts going down and I feel like its stuck. Could this be gas or air? I take a Gas X pill every morning and night and Prilosec every morning. I am not sure what this could be. I feel so uncomfortable and I can barely eat because I get full immediately. I am just confused because I used to be able to eat my portions fine, but now I feel like im back to 4 weeks. I cant even drink as much Water as before either. Or my Protein Shakes. Has anyone gone through this? Do you feel like you are back at 4 weeks?

Two possibilities occur to me - Could it be Constipation? If your abdomen is full ...

Or it could be a stricture in your esophagus. If the feeling persists, talk to your surgeon.

      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?
