So Freaking worried!!!



Recommended Posts

I have posted on here about a similar topic, but this time I think I may be screwed...

I keep a very tight band, and get stuck pretty often. However, last night I drank several margarettas (first time I have drank in 2+ years) and ate pretty soon after...EVERYTHING went down. Woke up this morning, and everything is going down, this evening , everything is going down...this has NEVER happend. i feel no pain, no sickness, and if I drink after I weat, I can feew a little bit of tightness/restriction.

Did my band slip? Did I enlarge my pouch? My husband is home from iraq for two weeks, and I DO NOT want to make a doctor run if not needed , or to worry him, but I am FLIPPING out!!!

You may have slipped the band up, you may have expanded the pouch, you may have moved around too much and disconnected the tubing causing your fill to leak out, you may have done all sorts of things. The only way to tell is to go to the dr and do a barium swallow under fluoroscopy. Do it now or suffer the next two weeks. An hour now seems like a smarter decision. And don't drink and don't eat crap food. You're just priming yourself for future incidents and ultimately failure. And I think you are aware of this, otherwise you wouldn't have posted. It will be fine but you need to get checked out and get back on track.

Last year I went in for a fill and two days later I lost all of my restriction. I had a hole in my port. It was a quick outpatient surgery and insurance will pay for it.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
