Am I Too Tight?



Recommended Posts

I am so sorry to hear about your problems. I was nearly that bad back a year ago. I was not too tight, I had a slip. After removal of all my fill, the lapband did not go back into place,(which sometimes they do). I had to have a revision in October, a year ago. I am better now, but do not want to go thru that again. My biggest problem is, that I had gained a little weight, and can't get further fill, I am at 5 cc, and any thing more, is too tight for me! Good luck and bless you both. Karen

I have 4 cc in my 10 cc band and I feel tight. I had a fill yesterday. I have felt full and I have barely eaten anything!

I had the same type of thing happen to me last year. I had a fill, but then 3 days later when i was back to solids, I couldnt keep it down. I went back to fluids and then started not being able to keep that down. I called the doctor but it was right before the weekend. I waited it out until monday, because it was almost a week since I was really able to eat anything. I went to the ER and met my doctor there. He was in surgery so I had to wait to be seen in between surgeries. He unfilled me 1 cc and it made all the difference. Next time, if there ever is one, I know to go in right away. I'm sorry to hear of the great distance you must go to see your doctor. I am sooo grateful my doctor is here in my town after hearing of your dilemnas. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Sometimes we don't listen to our bodies...I know I didn't. Take care of yourself...I'm sending positive thoughts your way :)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
