My surgeon suggested that my esophagus might be dilated or otherwise compromised,

...so this is no longer an issue?

And if not, did the x-ray tech HEAR your sigh of relief?

*phew* to some good news!

You know how medical professionals are...hard to pin down. The radiologist didn't even know that this was the reason I was there until I told her when the test was over, so I guess it's not an issue! ;) She didn't see any slip, hernia, dilation (unless "prominent" means that), or any other cause for concern. (And before anyone asks, I was sent to this specific radiology center because they are familiar with the band and how it works.)

Yes, she could tell I was relieved. I was doing this: :clap2:

That's great news Alex!!

16 oz?! I've had 4 barium swallows now and I don't think I've ever had to drink more than an ounce. And I complained about that. :)

I'm so happy for your good news, Alex. What a relief! I hope the rest of your journey is a piece of cake. Ooo, cake - that sounds good. (just kidding)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
