I'm 5 weeks out. No issues...until tonight. I ate 1 oz halibut and 1 small wedge of avocado. I guess it was too much because I'm absolutely miserable! I feel like food is rising up my esophagus. What can I do???

Try to throw up

Walk. Walk. Walk. Get things moving. Did you chew really well? Whatever you do, I would not suggest putting anything more in there until it has moved some, if not all the way. No liquids, nothing. It should go down, but it might take some time. If, by tomorrow morning, you're still having issues, call your Dr., unless you feel you need to now. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Dry foods like chicken do that to me too. Try to avoid dry foods if you can. Did you try to drink some warm Fluid?

If I eat too much this happens to me too. Feels like the food is sitting in my esophagus. I then have to make myself throw up for any sort of relief. If I can't throw up I lay down curled up and wait for it to pass. It sucks!

NO!!!! If you don't throw up naturally, don't MAKE yourself throw up. That leads to really bad habits and it's not good for your esophagus, throat or teeth.

Walk, walk, walk. Climbing the stairs is best. That will get things moving more quickly.

Measure your food, chew really well and SLOW down. :)

It has happened to me also randomly. I walk, walk, walk when it happens and try to make myself belch which provides some relief! Throw up, no way, not me!

This is the reason I can't eat much meats yet. If it is anywhere near dry I feel like I have a brick in my stomach and it is sitting in my throat. I def think walking helps but I have actually naturally thrown up cause of the feeling. Chew chew chew sometimes til it is mush helps. Glad it passed cause it is the worst feeling EVER!

      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.
