I wanna keep it short(try) I am an American who gotslaved in Jordan while I am living in Saudi Arabia! Yes u heard me right. Today is 2 months post op. Yesterday was the third time I had this pain I'm going through. .first week of post sleeve then 5th week and now 8th week it lasts for 4 to 5 days. It start out with constricted esophagus right at the incision between the breasts.. then my heart feels painful and heavish then I get a slight fever not too bad but enough where my whole body aches and I get cold. (I have 2 take pain pills) this only takes the chills and aches in my body away. NOT the chest or esophagus.

I have been 2 doc but long story short.. u have to be smart on what time u go to the er and have to look like ur dying! !so I got over the pain myself. . But now it's back I will go to the emergency at 6 am tomorrow bcuz that's the best time. But does anyone know what this could be. It goes away if I am on liquids for a few days and rest. It's literally one specific place in my esophagus (between breasts ) and once Water or food goes down and passes that specific place it feels forced and hurting where I close my eyes or clench my hands until it passes. Is my esophagus too narrow? And causing inflammation? I'm soooo scared cuz I don't fully trust these ppl although they have everything.. I may have to pay a lot of money to western doctor here to feel comfortable enough. Sorry it's long this is depressing. I never felt this sad ever. I got 2 kids. . I want this to go away! !!

      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.
