What do you think?

I recently got my first fill in over 8 months. Well I can eat food with no problem, I have the restriction and feel full fast and am not eating too much. But, I can not drink any liquids especially cold ones with out having to make myself puke. I get horrible pains and pressure in my stomach especially around my port. Not sure if I am too tight or if something else is wrong. I plan on calling my Drs office on Monday, but until then, has anyone else had this problem?

Cold liquids go down hard in the morning when I take synthroid. I'll drink a cup of warm Water with it. Your band may be a tiny tad too tight. Until you speak with whomever, stick with warm liquids. Room temp may also be more comfortable.

I cannot drink while eating...I know some believe it because it washes food down...for me, it is because the food is sitting there passing through the band slowly, and if I add Water it increases the volume instantly and has nowhere to go but up and out.

BTW, this was a trick I used when I would get stuck...sip some Water.< /p>

Also to this day, I cannot gulp water down...sometimes I forget this especially while at the gym.

drinking while eating has never been an option for me. like B52 if I try that my food comes back up. I have to wait at least 20 minutes or more before I drink. I thought that would be a problem for me before my surgery but honestly it's just second nature now.

      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!!
