I'm back and I have a question?



Recommended Posts

So I haven't checked in for a while. Probably because of the shame I have been feeling. I haven't been doing so well lately. I have had 2 fills but still have some bad habits. My health has been pretty crappy lately. I started having these strange symptoms about 4 weeks ago, long story short I was diagnosed with Cold Urticaria. And with this CU I have developed horrible headaches. I am miserable. CU is basically an allergy to the cold I break out in hives and living in Idaho where our winters can last up to 9 months sucks! The Doctors are clueless looking for everything from an infection to cancer. So far the only thing they have found is that my thyroid medicine is not strong enough. Has any one had something this weird happen to them after getting their band?

Sorry you have had health issues. If you want to re commit to the band, you know what to do.

I have only had excellent health since getting banded but I cannot see how this CU has anything to do with the band but of course I am not a doctor.

I would however consider moving to a warmer climate if the one I lived in made me sick.

Have your doctor check you for Hasimoto disease. It is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. Google it. Sounds like you may have the symptoms. I know I was diagnosed last year BC if a struggly with my thyroid meds not working. I had to start taking two types of medications

Get another doctor's opinion. Google a support group on thyroid conditions. I'm sure the band didn't cause this.

Best wishes

      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!
