I have had this problem for a few months now and found a simple solution that works for me.

First, I don't eat after 7:00PM. That seems to be the worst culprit for me.

Second - I drink a big mug of herbal (usually peppermint or chamomile) tea before bed.

When I follow these two suggestions, I usually sleep right through the night.

The other thing I've noticed is that my symptoms seem to crop up when I've been sleeping on my stomach. Not too sure how to prevent that one, though.

Ah yes! I've seen the little green people of which you speak. They force me to eat their diabolic offerings. Suz

I had a nasty case of food poisoning a little while ago, puked my guts up, which made me think, what happens after you're banded and you get really sick, not just the stuff in your pouch, I mean if you had food poisoning or stomach flu. If the food was already through the stoma and in the large part of the stomach. That can get pretty forcefull, believe me. Would it make the band slip? Would the stuff be able to get out through the little stoma and pouch? Suz:confused:

I have had this same problem twice and am totally unfilled for the 2nd time? On this Organic Apple Cidar Vinegar...do you drink it or take pills? Also each time have been unfilled, they have done barium swallow and say there is no slippage???? I spent 3 weeks not sleeping thru the nite and yet I could sleep during the day? what's up with that!

      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.

        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!
