I am 30 weeks with an empty band and for the past week I have gotten stuck on everything and the past few days I've puked a few things up. I know its due to swelling but it makes me nervous to think how bad it may be come 5-8 weeks from now knowing there is no Fluid to be removed!!Hope your feeling better :(

Did anyone notice that foods they ate before getting pregnant get stuck? Two times today food that I always eat got stuck. Like the pressure/burp/discomfort feeling. Or did you ever have this happen with pms? Just find it weird. Haven't had a fill recently and eating hasn't changed.

There was day i can remember that I could hardly eat it was in the first 3 months was really bad. and i threw up once really bad and of course i found out i have slipped recently which was so disappointing and its a bad slip where im going to have to have it fixed or removed :( but just go slow and maybe get a slight un fill

Old woman here with hopefully some helpful advice; the band isn't capable of "tightening" on its own, it's our body responding to the irritation of the band that causes random tightness. I had a complete unfill 9 months ago, still get tight. It's spasms of the esophagus, stomach and intestines that cause the tightness. I take an antispasmodic for this. Another thing that helps and is safe is essential peppermint oil in tea. 10-15 drops in a cup of Zen tea relaxes the stomach and helps with digestion,

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
