I’m so sorry. I don’t know what advice to offer beyond like Bastian said, and get it done to avoid a full obstruction. I’ve not been in your shoes. I’m still at least 6 months out from my surgery (consultation is on 6/29). I hope that whatever you decide helps you in the long run, and that you find some relief soon. Best wishes.

Any updates? I'm thinking of you, @ge0rgette2 .. Hope you're doing okay.

I guess that person wasn’t an over achiever 😂 The protocol is for both, but what is really scary to me is the 20% false notice rate. Yikes.

Having several surgeries in a row just stinks. Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any burning sensation from bile or acid this time.
The burping is normal. It really is though I can understand that you're really suspicious about it. Usually moving around helps the gas best. Also best to prevent thrombosis.

No. Charcoal wasn’t. I heard it was good to gas. Oh well that was a big mistake.

As for being opening twice, now it’s three times and this is the most horrific pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I’m so emotionally drained for two days. Every time I burp I say omg here we go again. I can do another surgery. I just can’t. This has taken its toll on me now. I just took some anti gas that the doc prescribed. I got a weird taste in my mouth and got scared and woke up. They revised my revision and moved it to another part of the intestine and he seems to think this is for the best. But here I am 72 hours out and got a weird gas burp with the taste I had last week an the week before. So I took a PPI. there is no burning or nausea like last time
That then lead me to vomit. But every time I burp I get anxious. I’m an emotional wreck. I have so much “butt” pressure. Unsure of those lovey hospital beds or just huge piles of gas ahah that needs to be gone.

yes, we will be pals
I was sleeved almost 5 years ago --- did well, gained back a little, but this isn't for weight loss - the GERD hit me last year and I'm on double PPI now and it's horrendous - I have a umbilical hernia, not related, maybe they claim, but thats being repaired too - so maybe thats why I'm worried. I did great with the sleeve the first time around - pain, etc... I'm just worried this is a double whammy, the bypass and hernia fix. I am not looking forward to it - nervous and anxious ... I know it'll be fine -- just the high of getting it all done .. I just want it over with if you know what I mean. I was so prepped in March, excited, now with all this COVID and being put on hold - I just let my guard down -- worry no one can visit ... it's just a lot going on in my head... anyways, I'll be okay!!
I'd love to lose another 40-50 lbs, but if this GERD goes away -- AWESOME!!! that's what I'm waiting for.
Water gives me heartburn... its constant all day .. I'm glad they cleared the way here in NY for electives.
I was on the emergency list, so I've waited only 2 weeks.. Today is clear liquid - horrendous!! LOL

Thanks - I don't want weight loss - well maybe another 40-50 lbs, but I want this GERD to be gone as well as the Hernia... it's horrendous today, I can't wait for this to maybe be over.
I know the bypass goes thru the intestines, I wanted to do the bypass at first, but decided on the sleeve.. if I knew that I might be acceptable to this horrendous heartburn I would have done it in the beginning.

Fix the obstruction AGAIN!!! I am assuming, speaking w/ the original surgeon this morning, that the CT Scan shows a partial obstruction - The surgeon last week - his collegue in his office, said he fixed the scar tissue, which he believed to be causing the issue - only last 2 days, so here I am.
Nothing to do with the sleeve, as I was revised to a RNY Bypass.
I am vomitting - not necessarily nauseated ... it just comes on very fast... it's not food related - its bile, intestinal I guess... some sort of reflux, is what I'm being told. How the food passes and the bile comes back up and no the food, I don't get it at all ... I'm so confused.
You're right - I'm not in the best of shape currently, fighting this - do I wanna do this in another month or so if it. doesn't go away on it's own - not really!!!!
I'm not saying I'm in denial - I know something has to get done - but 3x now in a month to be under anesthesia..
I want to feel well like I did about a week out - My son is supposed to get married in September, do I really want to feel this crappy and maybe have issues come August..
I'm just upset and venting, I guess ty for listening to me ramble!
*and thanks, I know, people have their own opinions and they get keyboard fingers.. like you said, let them, I'll ignore HIM!~~ *
I'll keep ya up to date!

Yes, I will thanks

Surgeon called. Here we go again...
Sleeve to RNY 5/27
Complication on 6/8. Vomitting of bile. Nausea.
Came home and 2 days later same thing. Went for CT again yesterday. Small bowel obstruction.
Wants to go back in but it’s my call.
Says it could go away or he will go in laparoscopic and fix it or if worst case incision thru my belly button.
Seems the collegue only removed the scar tissue And here I am.
My call he says.
Grrr.
food liquid staying down. It’s bile coming back up.
What to do!?

You're a great ray of hope Mickey! thanks!
Be gone with yourself, please don't post anything on my posts anymore - I'll find a way to block you.
Always one in a crowd - you've been a jerk to others too! keep scrolling!

If it were me, I'd probably get it fixed - but it's your decision. If it was a huge threat, he probably wouldn't be giving you an option.

I'm still waiting for my 'urgent' ct. Damn covid slowing everything down!

what ever happened to the Bile issue you guys/gals we're having....
I'm 3 weeks out - was revised - had surgery 5/27 and then again on 6/8 for an obstruction they said due to scar tissue - I'm awaiting a call back again for another CT scan, as I started vomitted bile again this morning... surgeon sending me for a CT scan ASAP. I hope its nothing and I have to be opened up again.. I'm going to lose it - I did this for GERD and here I am now with BILE! LOL

OMY!!

I made oatmeal , farina and cream of wheat - maybe Kashi, I love the cereal, is too hard, like nuts on the system?

You're so touchy!!! You come across as sooooo rude and a know it all... We are all in this together!
This your first surgery - bypass - or were you revised - she was revised and has different mind set maybe and her surgeon or nutritionist might have different ways of doing bariatric diets - not all are the same - I'm a revision and on my 3rd week - I'm up to oatmeal and farina and pureed - even though I had a hold up last week - they told me to pick up where I left off - You are also in Aussie and I believe their medical practices are probably different from where she is from - you can't come across as rude, well you can - but maybe take a step back before you post - we are all very sensitive, trying to do the right thing - learning as well as we can... Okay -I'm off my soap box now

Yes. Water always gave me a
hard time. Since day one of my sleeve.

Mine was delayed as well , I was going under surgery on April 2 but now it’s going to be on June 30 .. I’ve gained weight during the lockdown 🥺🤦🏼‍♀️ I start liquid diet on the 16 of June

Stop complaining okay there's people out there who can't even get surgery either due to insurance or lack of money so be thank full

Dr. Matthew Weiner has a lot of informational videos on YouTube. He covers a wide range of topics, I’ve learned a lot by watching him. This first video on metabolic thermostat/set point was a lightbulb moment for me.
How bariatric surgery changes your hunger, metabolism and even your tastes for certain foods.
Metabolic Thermostat
This one is titled: Bariatric revisions, Will they help or not?
Bariatric revision
As always, listen to your own Doctor

It was a damm JOKE. Sarcasm! Don’t claim to be an expert. This isn’t the first time you’ve come across in a snarky know it all way. I’ve seen it. Don’t act like you’ll never have/think of pizza or ice cream or a damm cookie. It’s life. You’re not an expert or you wouldn’t be here with us. This isn’t my first rodeo ... I was joking with someone who had a recipe I never heard of. I also meant that I can’t have ricotta. Why is that bad to prep myself before hand to a newer way of life moving forward from a sleeve.

Hmmm, could it be sure -- Protein Shakes though - I had the oatmeal this morning - was mushy and watery, but went down okay - now having an Ensure *hospital gave me a few to take home* and mixed half with ice and some Salted Caramel lean body brand protein... so far so good - stomach is gurgling, but it could be making its way around LOL
I'm going to try Almond Milk and chocolate powder later this afternoon and see if it's the milk like you said.
Never had an issue with these shakes, now BOOM!!! grrrr
