For me when I feel like I'm stuck, I get this awful pain right in the middle of my chest, right under where my bra hits, and I feel like I have to walk around or stretch my stomach out until it finally passes. A couple of times now I have been immediately nauseous with the stuck feeling and have to run to the bathroom to get rid of whatever is causing the pain. Not fun!

What you are is "full", not stuck. You probably ate just a little too much or too big of bite. When you are stuck, have mercy...you will know. When I am stuck, I get the pain you are talking about, but...it progressively gets worse and all my slobber starts to back up in my thoat, pool in my mouth, and then the PB happens.

The pain you feel is your band saying STOP...You've gone to far! The food is sitting on top of your band.

Hope that helps,

Amy

      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?
