You are not alone. I feel like I’m reading g my story. I’m on week 3. Was ok until a couple days ago. Nothing... I mean nothing goes down. I ate a half of spoon of baby cereal and that started the ball rolling. It feels stuck. My stomach is foaming like a rabid dog and I am throwing up foam like crazy. I haven’t eaten in a few days and I can’t even drink. I am all Foam. It’s disgusting. I’m calling the dr today. Let’s stay in touch bcus I’m feel scared and alone. I really wish they would tell you what might happen so when it do so we are not freaking out!

Most hospitals won’t release you unless someone comes to pick you up

OMG me too. I even have the sweats on that I came home in after having my son! My clothes don’t even come close

Pink Nova, same thing happens here. I feel like I’m always gurgling and when I eat it gets louder. I also have gas. Upper body though, in my back. I did hear that sometimes with these surgery’s we can develop lactose intolerance for a while so maybe that’s what’s happening

Just had bypass Tuesday and can’t seem to get the upper body gas pains to calm down. Hurts to breath at times. Has anyone taken Gasx or the like this early one? I’m afraid to eat anything

I had revision from sleeve to bypass on Tuesday. I came home yesterday and the pain is minimal. They sent me home with prescription for pain but haven’t needed it. It’s in comfortable due to bloating but it’s tolerable. I had a c-section as well and this is easier I think. But keep in mind everyone is differently. Good luck to you!

Congrats! Same here! Enjoying my jello waiting for Dr discharge orders. Good luck!

I had same thing. Only way to make that stop is to have the bypass bcus the dr told me the area of the stomach that makes the acid is in the lower area and it would have to be removed. I’m having my surgery tomorrow! I can’t wait. I couldnt live like that. It was getting increasingly worse and the long term results are worse. Good luck to you

How long did you stay in hospital? Just overnight? They told me sometimes 2 nights.

Had sleeve in 2015 and my GERD got horrible and also developed hernia. Going for revision to bypass tomorrow. For those who had this revision from sleeve to bypass, what do i expect after surgery? Is it a harder recovery?

I have tried Premier and a protein powder from GNC which I just gave to my brother. I was ok with muscle milk for a bit but now that is bothering me too. I will try to mix with coffee like you do. That should get me through the week before and I did see soups on the Bari store approved for Pre surgery. Thanks!

I just posted that the same was happening to me. I will be calling my Dr. I was discouraged because this is not good and I was worried that they would push me off! There was emphasis on liquid diet to shrink the liver . Glad there is an alternative. So relieved!

Hi all. I am a week away from liquid diet and my surgery is the 29th. I bought the baritrack powered and it does not agree with me. I get bad stomach ache. Is there something other than the shakes that I can have for the week? I there a soup or anything? Has anyone else had this happen?

Just curious... what’s a mini bypass? Good luck with it!

Hi there! So as far as protein powders, I haven’t found one that I really like. But I do buy my son Muscle Milk because he’s always on the run with sports and I never really thought about it for me. I tried it and I really like it. I add a piece of banana and some peanut butter and ice and throw it on my nutribullet and it really is good! The best part is it’s pre-mixed already! I hope you have that in Canada.

I found it very hard to eat meat also unless it was very juicy..: rotisserie chicken is awesome though. It’s Soft and juicy and goes down and stays down. I count on that a lot in salads or just as dinner

Don’t feel that way! Join the party and you can talk to me anytime!

Oh that’s awesome!! Whew! What a relief!

June 6! Let’s do this!!

Since my 2015 sleeve, I have developed severe Gerd and also have a hernia so I’m converting to a bypass in June. I went to the pulmonary dr the other day and did a battery of breathing tests and said I nailed them very close to 100%. I’m thrilled since I quit smoking 20 years ago and he said no sign of lung damage at all. Next thing I know I have to come back to pick up a machine for a sleep study? I don’t understand why. I feel like that are tacking on extras. I never had this before. I asked why and he said it’s because your going under anesthesia. Not to argue with him but I said I just had a hysterectomy less that a year ago and that was 5 hours under. No sleep study......This is a 1/2 hr at most. What’s your experience?

I agree ... keep it private. Especially in that line of work. If they ask just say your eating less and working out more. The end. They don’t need to know.

That’s a good idea! Thanks!

Whoa.... glad that’s over for you[emoji37]

I was at the nutritionist today and was adamant about vitamins. I told her I was taking chewables and she recommended Baritrack vitamin. She gave me a sample and It’s like a pixie stick. Just open and pour into your mouth . It’s like eating candy and it’s delish!! I will definitely be ordering these!

My surgeons office told me the cardiologist who does the testing prior to surgery would fill out my medical necessity form because my primary left the practice. I’m counting on that! My appointment is coming up.
