I hate how this makes me feel



Recommended Posts

I had surgery about a year ago and have lost about 60 pounds. I've only had 3 fills and the fills feel so weird and uncomfortable. Firstly, my port moves so I always end up being stuck a couple of times before they find how to get the needle in it. I had my most recent fill two days ago and I'm just uncomfortable. It seems to be hit or miss as to if anything is going down. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep so I took a benedryl with some milk and now I can feel the milk just sitting on top of the band. I know the pill isn't stuck but the milk is just not going down. I long to eat but have learned to hate eating, or rather fear it. Is this normal? Does anyone feel this way. I'm nearing the stage where I want to give up, unfill it and enjoy eating again.

I would contact my doctor.

Were you this unhappy before you fill? I am having trouble with my last fill (hit and miss on what goes down and the pain it causes), but I am opposite you. I am on a power trip. The pain makes me not hungry or want to eat. I know that is horrible, and I will start suffering soon, but I am going for a slight unfil.

You should go back and have them take out a little bit of what they put in. Once you found your sweet spot, things should get better.

Congrats on the 60. Doesn't that make you feel good?

      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?
