Ever since Sunday, I have been getting stuck on anything that is solid, such as meat. I'm sure part of it is due to not eating smaller bites. But with getting stuck, it has been really painful, more so than normal, and I end up throwing up 8-10 times, from only two bites! I woke up Monday with slight stomach pain, this morning with MAJOR stomach pain, and I felt like I still had something stuck in my esophogus. It finally went away once I started to drink, but I'm playing it safe and just having liquids only for the next 24 hours. I'm hoping and praying that it's not my band getting stuck! It's only been since my period this time around (I was banded in December '11).

Also, I am going on vacation in two weeks, and seeing my surgeon next week. I was told that bandsters can get tight when flying, should I ask to have some Fluid removed? I'm hesitant, because other than this recent episode, I don't have any restriction. Matter of fact, since my surgery, I've lost very few pounds. I went from 218 day of, to right now, fluctuating from 201-205. I cannot get past 201! This is making me very miserable and wondering if I made the right decision. Especially being on mainly liquids since Monday morning, and I've GAINED! WTH is going on?!

      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.
