I have the same issue w/water and do the same with the unsweetened iced tea. So I am interested too in any feedback on the water issue! :)

Also I never really had 'tummy' bloating issues even at my highest weight of 350. Now I'm always 'bloated'. If its not bloating not sure what it is, but my belly is so big that I look like I'm 8-9 months pregnant!!!! And that's all the time! I'm wondering if there's something wrong! My surgery was in July 2009, and although my eating habits aren't always idea, they're not bad, so not sure what's the source of the extreme weight gain (bloating) in the belly area.

HELP!!!!!

I'm not having issues that might require surgery, but I know my surgeon did a lot of revisions, they were 1/3 of his business, he said. Should I try a gastroenterologist instead?

My RNY was in January 1999. In 2009, I moved to Florida. I recently tried to see a bariatric surgeon here for follow-up. I called 2 offices and was told by both, 'We don't see people that long after surgery'. Which bugs me, of course. I'm not having issues that might require surgery, but I know my surgeon did a lot of revisions, they were 1/3 of his business, he said. Should I try a gastroenterologist instead?

Just wondered what people that far out from surgery do if their original surgeon is no longer available.

Thanks,
Vic

I have not had follow ups since final visit 1 yr post surgery. If you feel that you need to see someone, keep pushing.

My problem is water. Before surgery I was an avid water drinker, a gallon per day. Now drinking water is still uncomfortable, don't know why. I drink unsweetened iced tea all day long but cannot do the same with water. Any thoughts from anyone?
