I got my band a year ago and things have been good. But recently I've been having this problem with burping constantly! I feel like I have a huge burp stuck just waiting to get out. It gets even worse when I'm in bed at night. And this gas makes it hard to breathe. I have no idea what caused it or how to get rid of it! I told my doctor two weeks ago and he said it's probably too tight, so he loosened it for me and I thought that did the trick, but NO. I've been careful with how I eat- I don't even get super hungry, I've cut down on salt ALOT, I've been working out, I've been drinking alot of liquids; I tried the chewable Gas-X, Pepto, Tums, Mylanta, and nothing works! I have an appointment with the doc this Saturday, and I REALLY hope that he doesn't loosen the band again! Anywho, has this happened to anyone, and does anybody know what I should do???

I had my 4th fill yesterday, and I was extremely hungry! I kept having liquids but my stomach was still rumbling, so I thought I'd take a small bite of solid food and I felt okay. This is freaking me out! I can feel a bit of restriction right now, but it's been a long while since my last fill so I don't remember if I was this hungry before. I'm so scared that something is wrong The port moved and the doctor had to find it, but he found it, and I could feel the injection into the band, but I'm feeling super paranoid! Is this normal?

Yeah that's what I think it was for me too. And it's all okay now because I finally started my period yesterday; it came back with a vengeance! I had the worst cramps ever, but now I feel better

Then I really don't have anything to worry about My mom said that it's from all the anxiety and stress. Thank you!

I'm freaking out. I missed my period during my Pre-Op diet and I missed it now Post-Op. It's actually been about two months and I only spotted once or twice and then nothing. I'm not on birth control and I'm a virgin. Is this normal or do I have a reason to be really worried?

I'll be moving on from full liquids to soft foods this Friday. YAY! And I was wondering what all I can eat, and also any good ideas for recipes. The diet packet I have shows examples and lists of what to eat and not to eat, but it doesn't really have a whole lot of options. I know the obvious things I shouldn't eat, but I want to know if other stuff is okay. Like lean ground beef, spinach, other low fat cheese besides cottage and ricotta, whole grain pasta, salsa... I want to do this diet right but also still eat something that tastes good. Any ideas and suggestions would be very much appreciated!
