Chest burning, vomiting foam



Recommended Posts

I hope this isn't tmi, but I just had my band put in Friday, 12-9-16. The 1st day I was in a lot of pain from the gases in my chest, I was able to drink a lot though. But starting yesterday, I can barely drink small sips of Water. I have to burp after every sip and still sometimes vomit white foam. I'm so thirsty but I keep throwing it up. And when I'm sleeping, I wake up choking. Is there anything I can do to fix these things? Right now I'm asking myself what have I done..any suggestions are appreciated.

Call your doctor's office asap. I had that as well when I had my band In my case it was acid reflux. I wouldn't think that you should have those kinds of symptoms that soon with no fill...so please contact your doctor's office right away.

When did you have your surgery? I am currently taking micro small sips and the reflux doesn't seem as bad. I'll call my Dr in the am

Something wrong... this shouldn't happen.

So I called my Dr and sure enough, something was wrong. I am currently being treated for thrush in my mouth and esophagus (something from the iv they said). My Dr thinks that I should be able to swallow better this afternoon and I am, a little bit. This is rough, but I'm choosing to stay positive. If I can get rid of the thrush and start drinking again, things will be good.

Had to go to the er today for fluids and diflucan via iv, spent the entire day there...still can't drink still no answers...anyone ever heard of this..my Dr is saying this elephant that keeps sitting on. My chest is from the thrush...this is the worse heartburn I have ever had..plus my blood pressure was 142/110 so I'm sure that didn't help things

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
