Does the way restriction feel change over time?



Recommended Posts

Sometimes it happens that this week I may be feeling very restricted and then, next week and completely out of the blue, it is as if I have no restriction at all. Maybe I just should let it flow and pretend I'mnot paying attention to it... :)

Oh man...you have NO idea how much this makes me feel better. Because now I'm having trouble. First I had NO restriction, now I can't go a day without massively PB'ing.

I do not know WHAT is up!! My band is being so....weird.

Still waiting to get my esophagram. The referral is in, the dr confirmed. Waiting for them to call to schedule.

Oh the waiting!!!! I can't take it!

Hi Karen,

It's good for you if you're soon having your esophagram and you're telling your doctor about your worries as he's the right person to let you know if everything is Ok or not. Last time I had a fill and the doctor reassured me that everything was Ok with the band and the saline in it, I started to make an effort in not taking it too seriously. I try to think the band is in here and it's my friend so I better not stress out and treat it correctly or it will make my life miserable....

Hope things will work out well for you. Hang in there!

      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.

      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!
