No restriction all of a sudden....



Recommended Posts

I know nothing with these bands are normal. But this seems weird... I had my second fill on 7/7. Since then I have been pretty tight. I've had to really watch what I eat and take it super slow! Fast forward to yesterday (about 3 weeks later) and I've noticed that I can eat a lot more and everything just goes right down. Even drank right after eating and no issue today. I'm getting nervous that something is wrong. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks!

Yep! Sounds like you are due for a fill! During my first fill I only felt restriction for the first week then after that nothing at all!

Thanks so much! I just worried because after my first fill I went 2 months feeling ok so I didn't expect for it to change so quickly this time. Just when I think I'm getting used to this band I feel something different or new and start worrying that something is wrong! Thanks again for your help!

As you lose weight you lose fat around your band site which loosens it up. That's why they recommend going for a fill every month for the first year. Awesome job by the way. You're doing great.

That's a great point!! As you lose weight you will need adjustments because the band loosens up!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
