Holy Crap My Band Is Frozen !



Recommended Posts

It depends on it trauma was caused to the actual stomach tissue by eating while the band had tightened up while at a higher altitude. The first time it happened to me there was trauma to my stomach tissue and it caused so much swelling I could hardly even get tiny sips of Fluid to go through. The second time I went to an area over 10,000ft I knew what was going on and it was a simple fix.

KeepMoving, were you at a higher altitude for a short time or are you still there?

No it didnt freeze from cold foods..which was never a issue. Again this wasnt a food issue.

I was in the hill country for memorial weekend and before I went all was great and I go a lil higher

and it tightened up..sorry didnt mean for you guys to get all techinical.

We own the property and its never done this..just something new for me.

Have a great Saturday.

Had surgery in Texas. Moved to Denver. Texas doc took out a very small amount of Fluid because of new altitude. So post about atmosphere is correct. Same applies when you fly. I do international rescues and am pretty limited when I eat on the plane. It is at about 8000ft pressurized in the cabin. And on the issue of cold vs heat for swelling. Both are correct. You should ice an injury for 24-48 hours in 20 min intervals. Then you use heat after that time. The cold vasoconstricts and limts or reduces the initial swelling and the heat vasodilates the area to promote healing and "clean out" the initial swelling. This mainly applies though to things like ankles etc. Ice can help with sore throats etc to help with swelling related issues. Plus it is a good way to get fluids. But as far as the band the amount of tissue it would need to affect to reach the band itself is impossible. Your stomach way is actually very thick. Hope that helps.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
