I see a GI specialist tomorrow and another Bariatric expert Monday.

I admire that, as rough as this is and how ill you have been, that you are positively advocating for yourself. I am keeping my fingers crossed that these next two appointments will provide better insight as to what is really happening and a clear path forward to good health for you.

Glad to hear that. Please update us as soon as you can after your appointment. Did you pick up or have a copy of your medical records sent to the GI specialist and second bariatric surgeon? It'll be really important to both of them to have a copy of your records, particularly a disk of all your radiology films, EGD results, labs etc. If you haven't done that, please do so before your apoointment tomorrow. Good luck.....

I wish I could help, but do know that I'm thinking of you and praying for the best outcome. You have a lot of wisdom here and perhaps someone else will be able to share their story with you. It's odd that the xrays didn't show anything...hang in there, a solution will be found.

I hope they figure it out. When I had a hysterectomy years ago I was not able to keep even a sip of Water down without throwing up... Doc called in a pill that I did not need to swallow :-( the next day I was eating and drinking and no problems. My hope is your complication is as easy to fix as mine was.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
