I have been having a lot of issues for a month know. A lot of stomach pain, heart burn and phlegm.

It got to the point on May 1 was no longer able to keep any fluids down and forget food. I was admitted in the Hospital out of state for 4 days.

They did an EDG Scoop the esophagus is really swelled and they did biopsy. I have Barrett's. I'm will get the results on Monday. I have flown home to get this taken care of.

My chest feels like some one is cracking my ribs. I can know keep ice chips down, sugar free popsicle (very slowly) and the most important medicine. The worse of it all is that I wake up choking on my stomach fluids. I have lost 17lbs in 11 days. (which is great but not how I want it.

I just want to say how horrible this sounds and I'm so sorry you are going through it. What do they do for Barretts?

Note sure. I have had Barrett's for years but never like this.

This sounds terrible! We had our surgeries in February. I do get nauseated at times still.

Hope you find answers soon!

All the interventions they can to keep it from turning into Esophageal Cancer. You certainly are at risk JDUDA, my 1st cousin June-Ellen died of that a couple years ago on the "table" at the Cleveland Clinic, firmed my resolve to complete my RNY. But Oh My I do still miss her so much, her death was a warning that I should live, but I wish I had her here to be proud of me TODAY👼

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
