Chest burning, vomiting foam



Recommended Posts

I hope this isn't tmi, but I just had my band put in Friday, 12-9-16. The 1st day I was in a lot of pain from the gases in my chest, I was able to drink a lot though. But starting yesterday, I can barely drink small sips of Water. I have to burp after every sip and still sometimes vomit white foam. I'm so thirsty but I keep throwing it up. And when I'm sleeping, I wake up choking. Is there anything I can do to fix these things? Right now I'm asking myself what have I done..any suggestions are appreciated.

Call your doctor's office asap. I had that as well when I had my band In my case it was acid reflux. I wouldn't think that you should have those kinds of symptoms that soon with no fill...so please contact your doctor's office right away.

When did you have your surgery? I am currently taking micro small sips and the reflux doesn't seem as bad. I'll call my Dr in the am

Something wrong... this shouldn't happen.

Go to ER...

So I called my Dr and sure enough, something was wrong. I am currently being treated for thrush in my mouth and esophagus (something from the iv they said). My Dr thinks that I should be able to swallow better this afternoon and I am, a little bit. This is rough, but I'm choosing to stay positive. If I can get rid of the thrush and start drinking again, things will be good.

Had to go to the er today for fluids and diflucan via iv, spent the entire day there...still can't drink still no answers...anyone ever heard of this..my Dr is saying this elephant that keeps sitting on. My chest is from the thrush...this is the worse heartburn I have ever had..plus my blood pressure was 142/110 so I'm sure that didn't help things

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
