Another Restriction Question



Recommended Posts

Okay, I have been eating Cream of Wheat or oatmeal or something soft and similar almost every night for dinner with no trouble at all - in fact, when I go out with my husband on Friday and Saturday nights to dinner have to watch it because very little restriction (5 weeks post - no fill yet). Tonight I made my cream of wheat as usual and when I tried to eat it it would not go down and I had to throw it back up. Why all this restriction all of a sudden. I have found that the band is not consistent - sometimes restriction sometimes not - no rhyme or reason to it but when something gets stuck and you feel like you can't breathe it is a horrible feeling. The good news is that I won't over eat tonight because I can't eat anything. Thanks - P

Once you throw up, there is swelling around the band. most people go on liquids for 24 hours after they throw up, so the swelling can go down. I don't know why your band tightened though if you've been able to eat this before.

I'm new to this, so I don't have too much insight, but do you have your period? I found out that people on here were right about that. I have no fills yet, but when I got my period for the 1st time (post band) I was so full and tight. I didn't even want to drink. Just a thought. :)

      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.
