HELP! Slippage? Food Stuck? What is wrong?



Recommended Posts

My History:

Banded 3/08

Very Sensitive to fills!

I have had a rough time with fills. I swell very easily and have numerous fills taken out. My dr. filled me very slowly and I have had my last fill 8/09. It has lasted and I am doing very well.

I also take it very easy and eat only what I should and am very careful because I don't want to lose my fill. Since August I have lost the majority of my weight.

Last few days...

For two days I have suddenly felt very tight to the point of not being able to keep liquids down! sipping Water and it is coming up. I have a lot of discomfort.

I am worried that my band has slipped but do not have any idea how that could have happened!

Seeing my dr. first thing monday am but was hoping for some insight to make it through this weekend.

You might be too tight.

Any other symptoms? Do you have reflux? Metalic taste in your mouth? Heaviness in your chest?

I've slipped/prolapsed twice.

Please let us know what the Dr says. I am having the same problems and my Dr is mystified.

I had 2 cc in my band,1 after 1 month then another in Dec. (Banded in Sept 2009)

I lost the weight by watching everything I eat, and I cut out most sweets. Don't seem to crave them anymore which is great.

For the past three months when I take the first bite I feel stuck and can't swallow even the saliva and have to bring up that food. It sometimes takes 30 minutes to get it up because I can't make myself vomit. I try drinking a big gulp of liquid and all that comes up is the liquid or saliva. Then I can eat the rest of my dinner without a problem but I am sick of eating cold food.

Tuesday I had 1 cc taken out (so now I have 1 cc). I ate good Tuesday and Wednesday but last night I took one bite and brought up saliva for 3 hours. It was the worst night of my life, and I wound up breaking a few blood vessels in my eyes from the vomiting and now my eyes are bloodshot.

I called my Dr and was told to do shakes for a few days and then back to soft, but I can't even stomach the shakes, my stomach feels so queasy.

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
