I got a band adjustment @ the end of may and i've been fine ever since 3 days ago. I cant seem to keep anything down. Its more of slime coming up not the food. I've been chewing how im supposed to but the slime just wont stop. Does anyone know if my band might be too tight. Can it get tight this long after the adjustment doesnt seem right but need some input??? Im lost.:redface:

I find my band tighens up on its own from time to time, usually during times when I would retain Water, pre time of the month or during very hot weather, also when I am really stressed. I find that for 4-5 days I can only get fluids and shakes down and then things go back to normal.

As long as you can keep fluids down you will be ok and not dehydrated. if you have been pb'ing a lot your oesophagus will be inflamed so go back to liquids for a day or so to allow things to settle down and then gradually work you way back up to solid food.

if you are worried give your bariatric team a call and if you can't keep liquids down, go and get an unfill as soon as possible.

      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?
