Is it Possible? Can i be too tight?



Recommended Posts

Hello All. I was banded April 16, 2009 and have lost 127 lbs so far. Yay! But lately I have been having so much restriction that I cant keep keep anything I eat or drink down. Even if i drink in really small sips. I believe my fill was only 2cc's but that was last june. So it's been over a year. I would think that I would be losing restriction but its just really bad.

Does this sound like a slip or being too tight?

Thank you for your thoughts! :thumbup:

I know it is possible. In Feb, I had a small unfill and again about 2 weeks ago. I can't explain it, and neither can my doctor, but he said that it does happen. During that time, I lost 20 lbs and I would have thought that I'd need a fill, but I just keep getting tighter and tighter. I had .3cc taken out last time and I'm considering going back and having some more removed. I eat healthier when I can eat solid food and not just mushies and sliders.

Hi:

Please go see your doctor. He/she should be able to tell what's going on. You don't want to fool around with this.

Take care.

      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!
