Having Issues, Could use some Advice



Recommended Posts

Hello All-

I have been banded since 09/15/08- The first few weeks were great- I thought I was doing wonderful- Then about a week and a half ago I started getting these really terrible gas pains in my chest- I am constantly burping (sorry) but it really brings no relief- I started taking maalox and drinking chamomile tea, which did help the gas pains but now over a week and a half later I still do not feel right. I am not at all hungry- When I try to eat, i can just get in a very few bites and it feels like its stuck in the back of my throat. Even liquid feels like it sits in the back of my throat before actually going down- My surgeon sent me to a Gastro and now I have an endoscopy scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping this is something as simple as acid reflux, but I really have no idea- Does any of this seem familiar to anyone- I appreciate any advice. :sad_smile:

      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?
