I have been having a lot of issues for a month know. A lot of stomach pain, heart burn and phlegm.

It got to the point on May 1 was no longer able to keep any fluids down and forget food. I was admitted in the Hospital out of state for 4 days.

They did an EDG Scoop the esophagus is really swelled and they did biopsy. I have Barrett's. I'm will get the results on Monday. I have flown home to get this taken care of.

My chest feels like some one is cracking my ribs. I can know keep ice chips down, sugar free popsicle (very slowly) and the most important medicine. The worse of it all is that I wake up choking on my stomach fluids. I have lost 17lbs in 11 days. (which is great but not how I want it.

I just want to say how horrible this sounds and I'm so sorry you are going through it. What do they do for Barretts?

Note sure. I have had Barrett's for years but never like this.

This sounds terrible! We had our surgeries in February. I do get nauseated at times still.

Hope you find answers soon!

All the interventions they can to keep it from turning into Esophageal Cancer. You certainly are at risk JDUDA, my 1st cousin June-Ellen died of that a couple years ago on the "table" at the Cleveland Clinic, firmed my resolve to complete my RNY. But Oh My I do still miss her so much, her death was a warning that I should live, but I wish I had her here to be proud of me TODAY👼

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
