am I too tight?



Recommended Posts

After my last fill, I can hardly eat anything. I can't eat chicken, fish, pork, beef, of any cut or consistency without having to puke. I'm really getting tired of puking :-( Am I too tight? When i call my physician's office the girl that answers the phone can be quite nasty and she instructed me to take smaller bites. I take small bites and then I time them out one minute in attempt to not puke. The only thing I can eat and not puke are my slider foods: popcorn, macaroni and cheese, and pudding.< /p>

Are you making sure the meat isn't too dry? I was having the same issue and I had to get my band loosen yesterday and I feel better today so far. But time will tell because when I got my 2nd fill I was doing ok then 3 weeks later I was feeling tight. Like you, I chewed my food and timed myself. You maybe too tight....How long ago was your fill?

If it were me, I'd ask to speak with a nurse rather than the receptionist. Be your own advocate. Sounds like either the meat is too dry or you are too tight. Good luck!!

I can't eat ANYTHING except mac and cheese, popcorn and pudding.. .i cut everything up to the size of the end of my pinky finger and take a bite, wait a minute (literally), take a bite, wait a minute.. and sure enough puke every time. I don't think that I over eat because i weigh my food out and never ever get to finish it.

My fill was on May 20th and I've been puking ever since I started on solid foods again on 5/22. I started to think this was going to be my way of life forever but I can't continue to puke!

Puking can cause complications that you don't want. It sounds like you might need an unfill slightly. I'd get in to see my doctor, if I were you. Don't stop at the front desk when you call.

Sounds like you're too tight. I would have to talk to the nurse or doctor or just go up there if it's not too far and see what could be done. Good Luck!

Luckily my physician was able to get me in around 1:15 yesterday.. he took out .5cc of Fluid after giving me a lecture of not losing enough weight and eating the wrong foods (my slider foods because all my good foods would get vomited)

I'm very happy to say that today I can eat!! waaaa-hooo!! lol I haven't been able to eat meat in nearly a month, and today I had some fish. The SAME fish that got stuck on Saturday and caused me to puke.

Great! Glad things are better for you.

I have never been brave enough to try popcorn. Too afraid it won't go down!

i would really think popcorn would get stuck.. but it's a slider for me! If I didn't watch I could definitely eat a whole bag with no problem.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
