Aspiration Problems



Recommended Posts

hi janell,

i am newly banded (3/30) and i dont have any fill and i had aspiration pneumonia. i am on 2 different antibiotics to clear it up.

the only way they could tell was by taking a chest xray. did you have this done?

i definitely feel better since i started the antibiotics.

i got the pneumonia about 3 weeks after my surgery.

Wow! Will you be able to get fills? Usually aspiration only occurs when you are too tight.

hi carlene,

actually i think this may have been my fault.

even tho' the 3 rules: eat small bites, eat slowly and dont drink while eating...sounded easy in theory. it was more difficult then i thought.

early on i could eat. i think i may have violated above and irritated my esophagus. and then i was PB'ing. so i think in all of this i may have taken in foreign matter in my lungs.

a friend of mine is a doctor and i saw her last weekend and she said the mouth has the most bacteria.

the upside is....i'm not hungry at all.

i did read somewhere on this site that some people dont need fills for awhile.

however i would like to start eating again. i'm still pretty much on liquids (Protein shakes, soups) and Vitamins. i feel great however.

before being banded i realize the quantity and quality of food i had been eating made me feel like cr#p

Josie...

I am not a doctor, but this does not sound right. You have no fill and should not be PBing. An unfilled band is, essentially, no band at all.

I hope you are going to have your first fill done under fluoro so the band doctor can check your band.

hi carlene

yes i did have a fluroscope check and the band was "perfect" per my doc.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
