Uh Oh! What just happened?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days post op and am on 2 weeks of full liquids diet.

I was eating abut 1/4 Cup cream of potato Soup (not too hot and not too thick)...maybe I ate too fast or maybe the soup was too spicy....but all of a sudden I got a weird feeling - not sure how to describe it...kind of tingly all over. So I quit eating immediately and then a slight pain/pressure has begun between my shoulder blades...kinda the middle of my back....

What just happened? Was this a mini-PB situation? I haven't thrown up or anything, just still feeling tingly/weird/pain in middle of back about 1.5 hrs later.

I am staying upright just in case the gravity can help the situation.

Help!! What just happened? I will call my surgeon in the AM.

I'm no expert but....it sounds like you have gas! I had the same thing and the pain was alieviated with Gas X strips. I hope you feel better. I too am on the 2 weeks of full liquids and I suck at it. I just blew it this evening after doing so well all day. I am a bit mad at myself and promise to do better tomorrow!

Cruzlady: A PB is a productive burp.

Karkies: You probably have gas and you may have swallow too fast. Walking is the way to get rid of the gas plus some Gas-X strips. It will go away soon.

      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?
