What is going on??



Recommended Posts

:smile2:

O.K. so here is my situation. I was banded back in March. I have been getting my fills and then had one that was way to tight. They have loosened it and I was going good for a couple of weeks. Well the last week or so I have started to have this hot feeling in the back of my throat. and I burp all the time. I also feel like someone is squeezing the inside of my chest. I read one post that some people feel their band get tighter when then are on there period. Don't know if that is true. Is it? I am worried to call the doctor because I am afraid the will want to take more out and then I won't be losing weight. Any suggestions on what to do or what might be causing this?

Thanks

Speaking from someone who has slipped her band TWICE , GET TO THE DOC. It sounds like your having some reflux possibly .

Look at it this way , what is better , stalling on the weight loss for a while or risking losing your band becasue its slipped ?

Dont wait . I cant stress this enough . If your too tight YOU HAVE TO GO In, your doc is there for a reason . And in actuality you can STOP losing because your not getting in enough calories from being too tight.

GO TO THE DOC

      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?
