Recommended Posts

everytime i eat something... as soon as it hits my pouch it hurts really bad... almost like a burning...

i have had a bad couple of weeks and have made an appointment to go in and get it checked up on and possibly get a fill... but this feeling is really worrying me...

does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing the pain????:laugh:

You have done the right thing in making an appointment. How soon do you go in? How long has this been going on? You might need to go to the ER if your appointment is further away than Mon. or Tues. I am not a dr. so I can only speculate at what could be going on. I don't know if I would wait the weekend before going to the ER. If you can eat, (can you drink) there is a possibility of becoming malnourished and dehydrated. I pray that it isn't anything major,and you get it delt with quickly. Keep us posted please.

Hi:

My doctor said to call if there was pain. There shouldn't be any pain once you've healed from the surgery. You should probably call your doctor and see if they want to see you sooner. You may want to stick to liquids until then. Remember, if you cannot keep liquids down it becomes urgent for you to get medical attention because dehydration can be very serious.

Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon.

Sue

well i switched to liquids and am seeing if this will correct the issue... the bad thing is... my appt isnt until the 29th :tongue_smilie:

the burning has gone away but it feels like everything i drink is having a hard time moving through my esophagus (sp?)... and when i take a deep breath it feels like there is some pressure in my stomach... almost like there is something in there... but i havent eaten anything solid since 4 am this morning

i havent been the best bandster the past couple of weeks but i didnt think i was really doing anything to casue a serious problem...

Im gonna give it until monday morning and if i am still having the same issue im gonna call my doctors office and damand a sooner appt... this has me a little freaked out...

and thank you "gone 4 ever" for the kind words... i just hope there is no permanent damage done :tongue:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
