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👼

      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!!
