I'm guessing this is a problem with gas? Increasing your exercise, drinking lots of Water, and adding Fiber GRADUALLY to your diet can all help. I have found that 10 raw almonds a day keeps things moving as they should.

I have found that laying on my left side slightly inclined helps air bubble up through the band and out. (for burping kind of gas - can't help out with the other kind LOL) I think when you lay on your left, your liver doesn't squash your tummy and that lets the air get past the band. Good luck - that is rather uncomfortable!

      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?
