Worried I have hurt myself



Recommended Posts

Hello all--

OK, I was eating some chicken for lunch, and I may have swallowed some bites that were too big- so I got the intense pain-- but this time it kept coming in waves, and the pain was more intense, so I drank some water- which made it worse. Then I started vomiting a bit-- just Water though- but then there was some blood in it, so I was a bit scared I damaged something and almost went to the ER, but then the pains calmed down, and now they are gone. About 20 min later I drank some water which went down OK-- Has anyone else aggravated their band this way? I need some feedback.

I have had almost the same thing happen to me without the blood. MY #1 rule is DO NOT DRINK anything to "help" it go down... that is probably why you started vomitting! That is what happened to me.

Give your poor esophagus a break and sip, sip, sip on liquids for 24 hours. You have most likely really irritated your throat and you need to let it rest. Please do this and let us know how you are.

Sip on some sugar free hot cocoa or hot tea. And drink some broth and Protein drinks for supper.

I hope you feel better and I hope this never happens to you again!!!!

Thanks so much for responding. I called my surgeon's office and the nurse said more than likely the chicken was stuck and irritated the stoma when going down. Apparently bleeding when this happens is not uncommon. Anyway I have been sipping on Water all afternoon and will be taking it easy! I NEVER want to experience that again!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
