He said really anything. Getting something stuck, vomiting too many times etc. I was also reading about it and it said NSAIDs put you at a greater risk for esophagitis. Well, I've been taking aleve every day for foot pain.

New fun thing this morning! Pooped my pants while driving to work! Ugh. Guessing it's from everything my GI track has been through lately or I really did pick up a bug. Idk, but I'm home on the couch and probably will stay here today!

Oh dear. I hope you feel better! Take it easy -- and hope the foot pain resolves, too. I use those Sole brand inserts and they are life-changing.

If anyone with a band (or other WLS or condition) can't hold down liquids it is important to realize that you can become dehydrated very rapidly! Vomiting, diarrhea, etc. quickly exacerbate this condition!! You do not want to become dehydrated--you will end up in ER with IV fluids!!!! Don't ignore the symptoms.

In my pre and post-training for surgery, I was told absolutely NO NSAIDS. Advil used to be my drug of choice, but I rarely take it anymore. Once (months after surgery) I had such a bad headache, so I emailed my surgeon & asked if it would be the end of the world if I took some Advil. He said I could take it, but to take it with Pepcid or Prevacid; some acid blocker to protect my stomach. The Advil took away the headache, and I rarely, if ever, take it anymore. Bad news with WLS.

I'm glad you're feeling so much better. And SO glad you found a bariatric doctor to help you out. I don't think they would have know what to do with you in an urgent care facility.....or an ER.

Ok now I can answer I am glad you too matters in YOUR own hands & went to get help from the Doctor and did a barium , fluro swallow to see what was going on & had that unfill , now you can get back on track and tae it easy , hope you didn't get damage to your esophagus, also , as for the diarrhea I would tae some Imodium to see if that helps , well I just wanted to say glad you got of the site & went to get help and got it , Hope you get well and are able to hold liquids and food down soon , good luck.

Debbie, I was never not going to go to a doctor. I was just trying to figure out who to go to. I didn't want to waste time and money going somewhere that couldn't help me. I was scared and shocked that my surgeon had just disappeared. I was on this site while I was also trying to find somewhere to go. I am so glad there were people here who would respond to me while I was waiting to get help.

      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
