I'm scheduled for my upper GI tomorrow, and I'm a nervous wreck!!! I don't want anything to be wrong with my band or me! I'm just having bouts of indigestion, and I'm hoping for the best. And by indigestion I mean, burping. Nothing like acid or burning sensation coming up in my throat, no vomiting, no nausea. Just simple indigestion, well I guess just not that simple if my Dr ordered a upper GI, right? Can anyone tell me what this "barium" tastes like; YUCK!

Thx for asking. I was a nervous wreck that day, the barium was not as bad as i thought, the crystals they made me take was worse than the barium, lol. All is well, my band is where it is supposed to be, nothing to worry about. No slippage. So i finally got a fill, its been 3 months since i had one!

At this time i am 10 lbs lighter than my husband, it hasnt been that way in years ????also bought some pants sz 13/14 havent been that sz in 7 yrs, something is working

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      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! 😞
