So, I was eating lunch today and at the end of the meal I had the uncontrollable cough that did not want to stop. I called my surgeon because this has never happen before to this extent and could barely tell the nurse the problem between coughing. I was told to only take in liquids until they could see me tomorrow. But sometimes even liquids make me cough. I have a burning in the back of my throat and some discomfort at my port site. I just had Fluid taking out about a month ago and about 2 weeks later I had a coughing episode but it stopped fairly quickly, Has this ever happen to anyone?

I was seen by my doc this am and he took 1/2 cc out of my band and order an upper GI. The coordinator told me I there is a problem with the band it would change my requirements t for revision. I feel like I may have aspirated. I still cough and just on liquids. Having upper GI now

I'm glad you are at the doctors. Good luck getting some answers. I always seem to be coughing. But I don't think it's band related in my case. I know that feeling though. Like something that shouldn't have has got into my lungs. Hopefully your body will get it out with all that coughing!

Ok, so the coughing has gone away and the pain in my port area has remained. I thought it was related to me coughing so much, so do my doc. But now I have pain when eating any solid foods. I've been living on Protein Shakes this weekend. Going back to the doc on tomorrow and pcp on Tuesday. Hopefully one of them can figure out the problem.

I saw my surgeon yesterday who thinks something is wrong with my port. The office coordinator will send the information to my insurance company for revision Approval. I've lost 2 lbs over the weekend bc it hurts when I eat solids. I've been doing Isopure and Jello with injury and injury chicken Soup. I hope the approval comes back soon.

      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! 😞
