1 year and half, is this normal??



Recommended Posts

I have been banded since one year and a half, and never had this experience before!

I had a fill like 2 weeks ago, he gave me 1CC Extra (i dont know whats my total but maybe 8 or 9) but it was too tight for me, then i had an unfiill to half a CC. He pushed my port a bit to see if i was in pain and all was normal.

Since then, whenever i slept, either on my back, on my belly, or my shoulder, i keep coughing, and then BAM involuntarily puking my saliva.

I havent had a good sleep in 2 weeks and its killing me, i cough as if i have the cold or something!

I hate my doctor, thats why i do not see him only for fills, he is materialistic and his checkups costs a lot and i seriously cannot pay 100 usd everytime i have to see him, neverless the costs of checkups if any.

Is this normal? should this happen? Keep in mind that there are no other doctors next to where i live that do this procedure!

Thanks

It sounds like you need a bit of an unfill. Call your doctor.

yeah hun sounds like you are just too tight.. Night time coughs have to do with acid reflux and aspiration dont want to scare you but you can end up with pneumonia

I am not sure either, but try going back on all liquids for a 12 hour period. You may at some point in the two weeks become over hungry, and ate too much or too fast and caused swelling. A 12 liquid rest is a good test.

Your Doctor works for you. DOn't let him intimidate you into hurting your body. Whether he is a prick or not, get back in there and make sure everything is okay.

      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?
