Hello everyone! Just had a question about a stuck episode I had this morning. I knew better, but I was eating a sausage biscuit on the drive to work this morning. After 3 bites, it got stuck. :redface:OMG, it hurt. :ihih: When it came back up, there was quite a bit of blood with it. :eek: Is this normal? I feel fine now, except I know I'm swollen. I can just barely get Water down, so I'm drinking warm coffee that seems to be soothing. Has anyone else experienced this? I have only been banded since April 8th, so I'm still fairly new at this.:unsure:Thanks in advance for any input and advice.

Donna:smile:

I had an episode the other day with a productive burp when I ate tuna. Mine came back up just as it went down, but there was no blood. I don't think blood would be normal. You may want to give your surgeon a call. Best of luck.

Eek! I've had my share of "productive burping" but never any blood. I agree with carriemc78 that you should probably call your doctor. Good Luck!!

I get that a lot. Turns out in my case it's acid reflux. Chew some tums or something and see if that takes it away.

A lot of people say the acid reflux goes away with weight loss in many cases. I never had it that bad, but it has stopped.

I'm hoping that's the case. I've gotten acid reflux with certain foods my entire overweight life, not anything major but very annoying.

I have never heard of blood with a PB. I would call the doctor to be safe.

Was the blood bright or dark? Odds are if it was light, you may have scratched something on the way up. If it was dark, that's not a good sign. But all in all, call the Dr. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have had a couple of episodes, but I only had one time a little blood came up. And it was the bread for me. I am unable to get any time of bread down at all. But I do agree with the others if you do not feel better I would call my dr. just to make sure. Be careful :thumbdown:

      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?
