Hi. I had my surgery on 4/1/10. I've lost about 63 lbs. and I'm very happy. My band had .5cc in when it was placed. My first fill was in May and I got 2cc. I just went in Nov. and only had .5cc added for a total of 3cc. I had a checkup with the physician's assistance in Dec. and he felt I was in the "green zone". I was wondering if anybody has these problems: some days I eat very well-no sticking, no neasua, etc. Can eat whatever I want except still avoid bread. Other days I have trouble after a few bites. I get neasua and the I get sick. :( When I get sick it is silvia. I've only gotten sick 2 or 3 times where it was what I ate but I figured it was because I ate to much. I'm thinking of when I go back in 2 weeks of have a little taken out, like .25cc. Can anybody tell me if they are having these problems and what their dr. has told them. Mine is saying the same thing: eating to fast, not chewing enough, or to big of bites. I don't think that is the problem as I've tried eating the same thing a few days in a row and one day is fine and the next I eat 3-4 bites and then I get sick. Please help. :o Thanks.

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with my results except for the above problems. I would definitely would do it again. :P

I think the band is just tricky and you may not be too tight. If you are having these problems for 3 or more days in a row then I would consult your doctor. Most days are fine for me but then at least once or twice out of the week I feel like I am extremly full and I haven't even ate Breakfast. I just drink my hot coffee and within an hour I can eat. If drinking warm liquids every day doesn't help you then you may have a problem as well. Most people bands relieve them when they drink hot liquids. I hope this helps.

      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.

        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!
