I was banded this Monday @ 8 am and was not allowed to drink anything until after 3pm the next day. Let me tell u that sucked !!!! But I was told it was cuz I had to wait for a fluoroscopic swallow test and get the ok from my Doc. I was not a happy camper. The stuff the make u drink is horrible. But now that I can drink I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in. Go figure lol! Hope all is going well for u.:)

I got a xray the day after my surgery, i also had to drink a barium drink while they xrayed me to make sure Fluid was passing through my band well.

i as well had a swallow test the day after surgery, so on tuesday, just to ensure liquids were going down as intended. Im still very gassy and bloated and can only drink a couple drinks before i feel like my stomach is going to explode. probably the inflammation. anyhoo, i have been struggling as well to get all my liquids in I need. but im sipping throughout the day here and there. I am still so very sore especially where my port is.

I just had my surgery done on Tues the 16th. I dont think they did any kind of xrays, but I dont know for sure. I heard they do the fluorscopy at the first fill. How are the rest of you feeling? I could not sleep lying down, had to sit up in the recliner. I have alot of pain in my neck and shoulders, like a truck hit me! The incisions arent too bad, but I also had a hiatal hernia fixed during the band surgery so I think thats why I'm in so much pain!

Not all doctors routinely do an xray or a barium s x-ray, so I would not worry. I did not have one either. If they feel there is a problem they may do one but I am sure everything went fine.

      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?
