Not Tight In Am, Anyone Else?



Recommended Posts

I have about 3cc or just under in 10cc band. Banded 1/18/12 and doing well. Haven't had a fill in 2 months and I'm happy with weight loss and feeling of satisfaction between small meals. Lately I've noticed that I don't "feel" my band at all, not in the morning, not at night, nada. I've read so much about so much on here, I see that "loss of restriction" could be erosion or leak... Am I just a worrywart? Can anyone else relate to this?

It could be that you have lost fat around your stomach so the band is looser. I would recommend going to see your doctor.

I would think it's more likely that you need a fill again. I have never had restriction in the mornings, but I don't think I have hit my green zone yet. I am losing weight - total of 34 since June 22nd, so I am still happy with it. My doctor did say that as I loose weight I lose weight inside around my stomach so the "belt" has to be tightened.

I would call and go in, if they do you fills with floro then they will know for sure.

Thank you for the responses. I see the doc next week, and will tell him. I'm hoping it's the weather or something. I reallydon't want another fill yet, but I thought everyone felt morning band tightness and I certainly don't, now anyway.

I just had .25cc removed wed. Had fill last week and it made me too tight. I was vomiting in my sleep and miserable. Was still able to eat but was still horrid at night. I feel better. Still have a tight feeling in my chest but dr said my tummy swollen so take a few days to go down. But there is a big difference a lil unfill will make.

      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.

        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!
