Uncomfortable Feeling



Recommended Posts

I am about 6 weeks away from my revision surgery. I am sitting here at my desk two hours after lunch, feeling miserable. All I had was about 2oz of ground turkey with about 1/4 cup of greenbeans. It is stuck and is such a horrible feeling of pressure. This is nothing new, I have had this pressure feeling frequently, usually after eating Protein. My question is: do you still have this pressure in your chest (that nothing will go down) with the sleeve?

How tight is your band maybe release most of what's still in there and or get it all out. I helped me quite a bit when I did that

I have had all the Fluid out if my band for a couple of months. It is prolapsed (second time). My revision is scheduled for 9/11. I was hoping that after I had healed from sleeve surgery that I wouldn't have that same pain in my chest when I ate.

I am having the same miserable feeling and my band is not prolapsed I do not have heartburn or GERD by any means but because of that and my stomach problems since having my band unfilled I have been put on prescription PPI like dexilant or pantoprazole famotidine and carafate liquid 4X a day

I am finally on a all carb diet per my PCP until surgery

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
