I have had a gurgling in my throat for that last week- it is not painful but making me crazy. Nothing ever comes up - just like weird bubbles . I take nexium everyday. What is it and what should I do?

I haven't been sleeved yet but I heard about this gurgling being common after surgery...sometimes it's needing to chew more through and other times it's the stomach trying to readjust

@@hectorlopez323 do ur research..im surprised ar yout surgeon... my understanding is that you can get gerd with either surgery but ur actually less likely to get it with the sleeve because you keep your pyloric valve in the stomach.... trhe surgical nurse at our program said this at the last support group but I have also read it....


Nothing is coming up at all- so IS it reflux? I don't know what omeprazole is? I will call my dr tomorrow for sure :)

I'll look more into it. I've read a few random medical posts and some contradict eachother. One common idea however is that if you have pre-existing GERD it can get worse with sleeve. Ty for the advice. I will continue looking into it. I signed th concent form and he put down roux en y or possible sleeve gastrectomy or something like that. So I keep reading up on it , but he did scare me with this relevation.

I take pantaprazole - I don't think it has a generic like Nexium or Prilosec.

Yes I read and heard if u have it pre existing ur pretty much doomed to get it after with either surgery. I was supposed to get roux en y originally However I have a ton of medical problems plus on psych meds for bipolar and PTSD. So surgeon said adjustment of psych meds, chronic pain meds and those like me who sometimes need corticosteroids can't get rny bc malabsorption screws it all up with meds so don't know if you fall in any of those categories like me but it's something else to consider

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
