Back pain, burning acid in esophags unable to keep things down.......



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Dec 06. A year ago my dr said I stretched out my pouch. I was on liqiuds for almost 3 months and then had a small fill when my pouch went back down.

My mom died and I have had a very hard time and have not been a good pt. I have been eating too much too quickly. I was so miserable that my dr removed all of the fliud in my band. Well nothing has changed. I can eat for a day or two. Then when I go to bed and lay down it all comes back p. I literally wake up every hour throwing up. I throw up soo much that I wonder if it is food from a day or two ago. Right now I have back pain, and I feel like I have acid comming up my esophagus. I am so thirsty but I am afraid to drink anything. I am honestly afraid to go to sleep. I wake up with vomit comming out my nose. It is so disgusting!!!! I have lost just about 100lbs and that is important, stupid huh?

I know I should call my dr office, but the staff is so mean and it is almost impossible to get an appointment with my dr. She only sees pts 2 days a week and they are 1/2 days.

Just wonderring if anyone has experienced anything like this and what was it.

Thanks for reading!!!

Once you have dilated your pouch or esophagus it is very easy for that to happen again. You really need to get in and see your surgeon and if you don't like that doctor/staff then you need to find someone you are comfortable with.

You've had and have a lot of problems, this needs to be resolved.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
