Haven't seen a dr since 4 weeks



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in AZ on 4/28 and then I saw my dr 2 weeks post op and then again in two more weeks for upper scope because I couldn't keep anything down... due to family reasons I had to go back to NY and I haven't seen a dr since then and I'm now 3 months post op and I can't see a dr until Sept 18th .. food is still getting stuck and I still throw up daily ... Idk know what to do . I'm starting to get worried . I'm 51 lbs down since surgery and I feel like I'm losing so slow

Are you cutting your food into really small pieces and chewing well? The only time things get stuck for me is when the piece of food is too big.

Are you able to drink shakes without any issues?

Maybe go back to shakes till you see your Dr., just to make sure you're reaching your Protein target.

I would also keep a food log, note how you feel after eating it. (If you vomited, food got stuck or anything else). Take this with you to the Drs. Maybe you can see a pattern or discover a food intolerance.

I love cheese and eat it regularly. Just be careful of the fat content and the sodium in the lunch meat.

I hope it's resolved for you.

      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.
