Not Sure What's The Issue



Recommended Posts

Sorry about your issues! Hope your unfill helps. I have a totally empty band and have worse problems now than I did with a small fill. I'm having the band out in 8 days!!!! Really excited, because I've had very similar symptoms along with the most horrible reflux imaginable. Keep us posted.

Critterlady, sorry to hear about your experience. I actually feel much better since the band was emptied a little. All my symptoms just disappeared.

I hope your operation goes well, did you know what happened? Why you are going through this?

Thanks, Slim

Not totally sure what's going on. I had the EGD and there are erosions and ulcers evident. ....this reflex has been agony....the EGD says that the band is "ok", per my doc....I don't feel that the band has failed me, but more likely that I have failed it. I"m just so ready for it to be gone. I am NEVER comfortable, between the stuck episodes and the reflux....i's misery.

thanks!

Well, I went through it for couple of months and i hated my life. so I totally understand your position.

Wish you good luck. I did the band while im convinced that I needed to work on my awareness and emotions. the band is not the real solution. I encourage you to do all what you can to figure out the reason why you eat more than you should have and heal from it.

I am working on it myself. Its all in the head and about self achievement you know.

      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.

      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!
