I think you should just try and relax and if you puke up so be it. But if you keep it in thats good . Next time listen to you body and try again or go back to full liquids for a day or 2 then try again...good luck

Do NOT lie down. Do not drink anything to push it down; that will Only add to your pressure and may give chest tightness.

Try to relax. Breathe slowly through your mouth, if necessary. The pressure/discomfort should pass. If it's going to come back up, it will.

Take it slow and easy. Eat slowly at first Because the food needs time to get to your sleeve, and you do not have the room you used to have, even for puréed foods.

Hopefully by now (as I type), the discomfort has passed.

What a terrible feeling, I know. Like others suggested, relax it will eventually pass.

Yeah, drinking Water is NOT a good idea.

Does NOT solve the problem.

      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.
