After all my problems and the after having my band emptied, I still was unable to keep food down some days. So today I had a barium meal and it showed that all was fine, band in right place, liquid went straight down. this is very good news but doesnt explain my issues with food. I am just happy its not the band.

Its an issue I have had since 1 year after, went from the max of 5.7 in my band down to .5 which is where it is now. We actully think it's my MS causing the issues with my muscle weakness not having the power to push food through. No its not my eating as I have cut out heaps of stuff and even mash potato wouldnt go down. I have had a better 3 days as I have more or less kept myself on liquids til after the barrium. I think my constant vomiting was keeping the stomach irratated and swollen and now I can eat better as that seems to have subsided. Now I feel like a newbie again.

Did your tightness subside? This sounds so much like my problem right now!!! I was excited to read someone else had it. I am 2 yrs post op. I have NO Fluid in my band for the last 4 months but have really bad restriction. How long did it take to get better? I am on 6 days now. Its getting old. was there any way to make the swelling go down faster?

Yes it has, I am still careful, but I am getting hungry which I havent in months. I found that being very careful for a few days seems to have done the trick. He also thinks I may have vomit slippage and if I vomit it causes swelling and slippage type issues. Try going down to Fluid type stuff and use Protein shakes. I am going to see how I go for a couple of weeks then maybe have some Fluid but back in but very slowly this time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
