I'm definitely going to have to do that. My concern is that since I paid our of pocket for the surgery, my insurance won't cover it and I can't afford to pay anything out of pocket right now.

I think that might be my problem. How is that treated?

What are the symptoms of a dilated esophagus?

Thanks for the info. I will def try that. I didn't know water can make it worse.

Thanks to you both. I will definitely try that and see how it works out.

My last filling was in November and its pretty tight. I've been ok until the last 2 weeks where I've had to keep a cup of water on my bed side and sleep at a propped up angle because ill wake up coughing and choking on spit. What could it be? Also, because I paid out of pocket for the surgery, I'm worried if there is a complication that my insurance won't cover anything I might need to get done to fix it. Any suggestions?

It definitely will be the one to make the most impact. Best of luck

Just got out of the Dr's. He took out .5cc's and I felt instant relief. However, I do feel weak since I've been on an empty stomach for 2 days. I'm drinking a glass of cold milk and it feels sooooooo good. So my 3rd filling went from being 2 to 1.25 to .75 cc's. 4 more weeks for my next fill. Looking fwd to the weight loss with this one.

I'm going to the Dr today to take some filling out. Even water is a struggle for me so solids are definitely out of the picture. Even puree is a struggle. I wanna lose weight but I wanna stay healthy doing it. Looking fwd to today and seeing how much I lose the rest of the mth.

Yeah...liqyids, including my saliva aren't going down quick enough so some still comes up. I wanna lose weight not become anorexic, malnutritioned or dehydrated. Going back to the Dr tomorrow morning and have him take out at least .25 cc's. Not fun at all. But, I know this happens. The worst part is I feel exhausted from throwing up and having nothing in my system to give me energy for the day. Trial and error to gain success. Keep me posted. I'll update you tomorrow morning after I get out of the Dr's office

I called the Dr today and he said clear fluids the rest of the day and he will see me tmrw morning at 10am. I hope he only takes .25 or .5cc's at most. It's hard for me to keep liquids down. It takes too long,and some still comes back up after a while after my saliva accumulates. Not normal at all. The tightening starts loosening up when you're losing weight right? That's what I've been told by some ppl on here.
