I had bypass 11/21/19 and still having pain and discomfort. For the last week and a half I’m having issues with getting anything down (liquids, chewable vitamins, food etc.). Not sure why, but I finally called my doctor’s nurse today (left vm). I’m using gas-x in case its gas pains no relief, I chew chew chew/sip sip sip before swallowing but everything seems to get stuck in my chest area. When it comes back up it’s a ball of slime nothing else. It’s happens a couple times a day.

Anyone else having this issue?

What did the dr say? At this point out you shouldn't have such a hard time keeping things down. Unless you are taking too much at a time

Waiting on a callback to see what’s being said. I’m very cautious of my intake so that’s not the issue. If it were pieces of food/vitamins or whatever mixed in I’d say yes too much at once.

I had the same problem four months out ended up I wasnot chewing food good enough. So it would get stuck in my chest and I’d end up puking every-time. Take smaller bites and chew more. And for the vitamins I would always get sick when taking them. The only ones that sit well are the fast dissolving bariatricpal ones on here I use the prenatal ones.

Could be so many things but you are about the time to see strictures. ((hugs)) And don't let up till you get seen by your doc. Cuz it's not normal and I doubt seriously it's something you are doing wrong. You need to be seen hon!

It sounds to me as though you may have a stricture. Hopefully your Dr is able to see and diagnose the problem quickly so you can get help

I would call the Md for sure. One thing about the vitamins. I was on chew able ones for 2 months. Once I was allowed to swallow them it was still hard so I would put the vitamin in a cup of water for a few minutes to soften it. It didn't dissolve in that time but the plastic like capsule was a little soft and mushy so it slid down easier.

I have the soft chews from Bariatric Advantage so they dissolve completely by the time I swallow. These are the only ones I seem to be able to tolerate for now.
