When I am very active such as even cleaning house all day or I get stressed, when I try to eat it feels as though everything inside of me is swollen and the food just won't go down easy. I avoid eating much that day because of it.My girlfriend who also had the DS by the same surgeon Dr Scholten says she experiences the same thing. Anyone else experiencing this? >> Renae: First off, congrats on the weight loss!!!! :) I get this sometimes myself. I'm almost 9 months post-op (and almost at the -100 mark -- if it ever happens! AGH! This plateau is getting to me). I find that if I twist my upper body a lot, I'll get an ache in my upper back and/or intestinal aches. It does subside when I rest. I don't necessarily have this happen when I eat but it is in conjunction with when I exercise (specifically using my upper body/arms). I wonder if you had a hiatus hernia as a pre-op? Could be acid reflux. I had a slight hiatial hernia as a pre-op (it was diagnosed with the endoscopy, I had no idea that I had one until that time) but I haven't experienced any burning sensation or problems when eating as a post-op. all the best, lap ds with gallbladder removal january 25, 2001 Dr. Gagner/Mt. Sinai/NYC almost 9 months post-op and still feelin' fabu! preop: 307 lbs/bmi 45 now: 213 ???? Still?????? No dependable scale in these parts at my immediate disposal....
