  1. No fill. He was actually concerned it would be too loose to last me the 6 weeks until my first fill.
  2. No, I haven't had one yet. I am only having one because I called them with the above complaints.
  3. I got nauseous 2 days later and had a dry heaving episode that lasted a couple hours. I have not had that since but have been nauseous. They had me quit the pain meds to see if that helped but it didn't. I just don't want to do this swallow if it isn't necessary and I need to just suck it up!

  5. So it is common to feel nauseated all the time still? I can deal with the shoulder and chest pain but I just feel sick to my stomach non-stop. My surgeon is who ordered the swallow.
  6. I am one week post op today. I am having a lot of like burps that don't actually come out, they just really hurt my chest and shoulder. These happen all day long, with or without eating and drinking. I am having a lot of shoulder pain and also am quite nauseated still and have a hard time eating. I am scheduled for a barium swallow tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone else had these issues? Overall I am feeling quite terrible.
  7. I am on the Opti-Fast 800 diet per my surgeon and have surgery next week. It consists of two shakes, two bars and a soup packet a day. Nice to have a a little variety.
  8. I'm scheduled for surgery and wondering if there are any tips to prevent hair loss after surgery?
  9. I just got scheduled for surgery. Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on how much time off work I should expect?
