    need help

    I"ve had my band for 1yr I am not sure how much is in my band. I was unfilled a little a few months ago. Last week had some food poisoning and got pretty sick I was thinking my whole gut was inflamed and I was sick, I have vomited alot more then I have in a long while, I feel tighter feeling better but can't eat solids or even soup without pain of stuck in chest or in my back it is horrible. Any ideas???
  2. I suggest not tums but prilosec and liquids for a day. I am messed up too. I got stomach flu last week well infection in colon on antibiotics I feel like my band is tighter and about every time I eat getting pain 1hr later until I burp or drink Fluid push down or vomit. I might need call MD tomorrow
  3. I was banded by Dr Nagy 6/8 he is very nice guy and have had no issues. I had my first fill on 7/7 and I see him again soon. Wonder if I will get another fill. He does kind of leave up to me. I would highly recommend him.

    stuck again

    How often do you get food stuck? How long does take the food to pass or is easier just to vomit? I really like to know how others handle what seems to be a weekly drill for me. I get food stuck this the 2nd time this week. I try to vomit sometimes it comes up easy then all is ok, but just last night I was so stuck could not drink nor eat anything for 2hrs after that bit of food that got me stuck. I even feel it has carried on to today. I only had 4 bits of sold food today and pesto stuck again. I had this since last fill over 3months ago. I have hard time some days keeping my calorie intake where is it safe 1200-1600. I am losing and haven't been working out, hurt my back. Suggestion????

    Burp

    I have lately can not stop burping after or while even trying to eat. I stop eating and barely get a few bits in and think because I just start burping it will come up. I haven't had fill in month but I think things have moved it is getting hard and hard to eat one very small meal. I almost consider 4 bits of whatever dinner, lunch or breakfast. It even happens with thick liquid like protein shakes. Any suggestion?? I see doc in 2weeks thinking getting little unfill to see if it helps.

    Burp

    THANKS not sure if i have time to get to time before then, just to much going on. But it is working on eating very little at one time. Good thing losing well, just reach under 200 for the first time in over 14years. I am so excited I couldn't stop smiling when stepped on the scale, it was wonderful, so excited.

  15. ok so there and need advice about throwing up. I eat weird hours so the whole 3 meals a day is off for me. I can't eat breakfast bedside yogurt in the morning or i get stuck, no matter how small and chewed bites. I work nites so it is no matter when I wake up I just can't eat real food for aleast 2hrs after being awake. I feel better after throwing up is something gets stuck, but that can be so hard to take about 10-15 to get it up. I don't want unfil, it is weird, I have bad days and good days. It is not every day I get stuck but aleast once a week for sure. Who else has hard time throwing up when you know it needs to come up because if just isn't going down??????

    breakfast

    I am on my 4th fill and can't do breakfast. I do protein shakes and if I want to eat have to wait aleast 2hrs after being awake. And those day I try to eat even mush like oatmeal I struggle the whole day with eating and barely get my 1200 calories in. I really don't get it. Who else has hard time eating breakfast? I miss it sometimes what some healthy eggs or oatmeal. It blows. I also haven't seen any weight lose in 2 weeks. I bugs what is up with my body. I work out I eat healthy what is up?

    To Fill or not to Fill

    Weight lose is hard and losing slowly is healthy and good. Can you eat whatever u want or have problems with certain foods. I totally having hard time with healthy protein and only at 4cc. I think the key is eating less and working out. I got sick and having been able to work out. I see weight lose more the harder I workout. So my advice don't fill but talk doc first he knows best.

    Onederland I've made it!!!

    You are not alone, you are doing it slowly, so am I. I am 14 lbs from being under 200 so can not wait to get on the scale and see 199 or less, I wish it was coming off faster but it is coming off. :smile2:
  19. oh my someone should have warned me, it is not nice but is passes or you throw up. But, it make you stop eating for sure, it happend tonight. To me it isn't just about chewing and small bites but sometimes about what I eat that just i don't seem i can do anymore.
  20. I have the 10cc band got my first fill in July 2cc and my tube contacting the port had .8cc, this time I got 1.4cc. I am trying to take it easy usually when it comes to eating soft foods, but I really wanted some meat, so I grab a slice of lunch meat, (ham), I didn't chew that well and that was my frist true experience of getting something stuck.OUCH it was so painful. I even fill alittle sore in the tummy! Who else has experienced that?????:thumbup:
  21. thanks everyone! I am eating slower more than just slip food like soup and yogurt, but small bites and chewing. Still hungry but PMS right now and always hungry more then:unsure: anyways.
  22. yes but right now I am scared to eat anything with more. I got work my way up to what I can eat and what I can't, what should I try to start eating, I thought maybe scrambled eggs, and mac & cheese but tomorrow I start with those foods.
  23. I decided to stay with the mushy soft easy food, like oatmeal. My 2nd fill was just 2days ago. I like soup it goes down easy, and ice cream, yogurt and I hate the protein shakes, so that is out. I hope this new fill will help me back to losing again I stop 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the advice.
  24. thanks so much for this thread. I had one fill so far have one coming up in 2 weeks but still losing slowly but not restricted as I think I need to be. I hoping i will fill like you and have all be worth it. I just wish it would come off more then what I have lost so far. Surgery date 6/8 since then lost 13lbs.
