Staple Line Disruption?

Many times when I drink, I can feel the liquids going through my system (especially with a cold drink)...It's a really funny feeling.  Does anyone else have this and is it associated with a staple line disruption? Background, I had my VBG in 1998, lost 80 lbs., never got to my goal, but maintained my loss until around 2004 and have since gained back almost 50 lbs. TIA

you may want to consider having a barium test performed. This will allow you to see if there is a staple line disrutpion.  I had one right after giving birth to my daughter and had to have a revision to the RNY.  If you are gaining weight, this might be the case for you too. shana

Thanks! I've actually just scheduled my Upper GI , so we'll see what the results are.

 

I was just curious if there were any "signs"
