have a glass wine, turn the lights of and enjoy!!!

could you be allergic to something in the dressing? i had red square marks where my dressings had been for two months after op! well weird lol

I have noticed it too. i dont know why it happens, maybe the band relaxes lol

its to do with swallowing too much air. With the band, the air goes down as its not easily burped up. so you may get uncomfortably full of air..

some people on here saying about telling a spouse or partner. i cant see how the hell you could keep it from your partner. physically i couldnt have done. I could hardly walk around for two or three days. i think my husband would have noticed somehow! as for work and friends.. told them i had flu so they stayed away!!

I only told my husband. it can be a lonely journey. sometimes i wish i could talk about it with other people but i dont want to be judged. its no-one elses business. i funded every penny of it myself with a loan that i'm still going to be paying in 2 years time! but i see it as worth every penny and i have no regrets. i feel that only people who have actually gone through this can truly understand. the good and bad.highs and lows.its good to have this website to turn to..

i was exactly the same. i made sure that i was bmi 40 next time i went and slouched a little when the nurse checked my height.probably shouldnt say that but i was desperate. and i have no regrets.

hi the experiences im having with getting food stuck is not really scary, just bloody annoying! i sit down with a healthy something to eat, two mouth fulls in it gets stuck.by the time ive sorted my self out and feel ready to continue, the food is cold and horrible.in the end i just admit defeat and give it to the dog!! the dog is gonna need a band at this rate! when you have to be sick,theres no heaving as such.its like saliva builds up on top of the stuck food, then you just know youve got to get to the loo.. sometimes just the saliva comes back up or saliva and food. it kind of crawls out (gross) no heaving, no noise, no pain, just inconvenient. i hope this helps, good luck with your surgery

thank you for your reply, its very helpfull to know there's other people going through it with more experience. it can be a lonely road.x

(didnt get any restriction with the first two) im now feeling restriction every day ive been eating a two egg omelet and its been fine. today there was no chance that it was staying down! first time ive brought food back up since op. is my band just being moody? how long does it last?
