2nd prolapse-heartbroken



Recommended Posts

I prolapsed again yesterday and had to get the band unfilled and meet with a surgeon in the next couple of weeks.

My practice says if you prolapse 2 times it will continue to happen and the band needs to be switched out. My stitches holding the flap on my band could have become loose or my body could be rejecting the band. according to my doctor this is the only realize band that they have seen this happen to.

Either way I have to really watch it. I don't know what to say. This prolapse came out of the blue. No throwing up or PB'ing.

The good news is it it sounds like they are going to be committed to finding a solution for me.

The bad news really depressed. I have no desire to anywhere not even to Easter with my family. I did everything right. I have no idea why this happened.

I'm so sorry--what a disappointment! I am glad they are committed to helping you find a solution--but wish there were no need.

You have lost 77 pounds. That's HUGE (pardon the expression!). You are so far along there's no need to get depressed now. Enjoy your holiday with the knowledge that you are so successful!

Sorry for your roadblock- this is hard to deal with. But if you can lose 77 pounds you can do anything! Have a good Easter!

Hi, I am new to the site. Could you explain what you mean by prolapsing? As the others said, you lost 77 lbs! That's amazing. Try to stay positive and good luck on your journey.

GMC, I agree with you. I wish there were a glossary of some type where us newbies could learn the language. I haven't a clue what PBing means.

PB means "productive burp." It's not a good thing. I've only done it once and it's not fun.

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, but like the others said, it's great that everyone is committed to solving the problem -- and let's hope this is just a tiny roadblock that has a scenic detour!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
