This has been a struggle for me the lapband journey... I have not always been the best patient

But after this weekend, I think I'm finally ready to make some changes

I hadn't been able to hold down anything since Thurs night even Water comes up

I take meds for depression haven't been able to keep them down either

What I am the most scared about is what if I damaged my band in some way?

I don't want to have screwed this up

I'm going to see the doctor to get Fluid taken out tomorrow but I kept food down tonight.

I'm scared

See if your doctor can examine your band under a fluoroscope, then you know exactly what condition

your band and tubing is in. You didn't mention when you had your last fill, but they can cause the

stomach under the band to swell and cause too much restriction. From everything I've heard,

if your band was damaged you'd know it. Take a deep breath and try to relax, you should be fine.

I've been told that not being able to keep Water down is pretty common. You are just getting used to the new you. Try not to panic and trust your doctor.:)

      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!
