Indigestion.....



Recommended Posts

for the last 4 or 5 days i have had some incredible indigestion. at first i thought it was my coffee habit finally catching up with me so i cut that back to almost nothing. i only seem to get it during the day and it's not right when i wake up it's usually later after i have had something small to drink or eat. This morning i woke up just fine and was on my way to work drinking my V8 splash - about the time i got to work i was ready to throw up. i don't have any issues with eating no more than norm - meaning if i rush i have the usual probs but if i eat right and take my time all is good. Has any one else had unexplained indigestion? i have my normal appointment on the 26th trying to decided if i need to pull it in. i don't have any of the other signs i was told to watch for - night cough/heart burn. just a horrible feeling that i need to be sick :(

Gallbladder. Do you still have yours? Something like 30% of all WLS patients have to get theirs out. I was having "attacks." Horrible stomach pain and nausea that would last anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours. The risk factors are the four F's. Female, over Forty, Familial, and Fast Fat loss. Hope it's not that for you. I'm having mine out in January.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
