Weird feeling in esophagus?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 7/21 and I just woke up with acid reflux and the feeling like there is a small pill stuck at the end of my esophagus. Kind of when you swallow a pill with not enough Water. The funny thing is that the only pill I am taking right now is a very tiny protonixs which I took probably about 20 hours before. I'm still on clears also so I know it's not a piece of food. Anyone else have this issue?

It's probably just swelling. It takes several weeks for all the swelling to go down. Hang in there!

7/20 here and have the same thing. In fact, there are times where I can feel the Water sitting going into my stomach like a funnel. I'm expecting as swelling subsides that feeling will lessen.

It's hard to swallow pills for me with out enough Water. That's feeling is awful. I'm 5 weeks out to and I'm on purée stage so I know the food is going down just don't like the feeling in my esophagus hope you feel better soon.

      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?
