too tight or something stuck?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

2 and 1/2 weeks ago i had my second fill. since that time i have had a harder time swallowing meat even cut into tiny pieces and tender cuts of meat. If something did not go down right i would end up vomiting. This also happened with crunchy foods etc. Since sunday, i have not been able to keep down food and am on a liquid diet now as my dr. recommended, they say i may have irritated it and need to let it rest for a few days. I have been doing the liquid diet but have had a hard time. It seems like it takes a long time for a mouthfull of liquid to go down and then i belch and belch. I hope i havent done something terribly wrong and have totally messed it up. Could it be that the band has gotten tighter over the last two weeks. I never had a prob. before the second fill and have lost 55 lbs since december. Thanks

It sounds like you may me slightly too tight. I would discuss with the surgeon and consider a small unfill. Sometimes as little as 0.1 cc can make a huge difference. Please get yourseld checked out though. You want to be able to eat healthy foods.

      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.

        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!
