*SCARED* I have a stretched pouch...



Recommended Posts

Please let me know what your doctor says, it sounds like what happens to me. I get too tight and have reflux, they unfil me and then I am too loose. I have also noticed an issue with liquids, especially if I have eaten within a few hours.. it is quite weird, meanwhile my weight loss is totally stalled...

I think we are in the exact same boat. Before my last unfill, I would eat and not be able to drink even hours later. As soon as I would fall asleep, I would start choking everything up. No matter how early I ate it. I am also at a plateau since this started happening.

I will definitely let you know what he says. I am going to ask him about the 5 day pouch test diet as well.

Hi Thin!

My doctor scheduled me for an upper GI for next Wednesday. He said he will let me know after he looks at the results. He did still proceed with the fill, so I am on liquids for the next couple days anyway, so I decided to try the 5 day pouch test.

Question - Why is it that every time I get a fill and am on stictly liquids do I start dreaming of big greasy cheeseburgers??? :thumbup: (Not that I've had one in over a year, but I still dream of them!! LOL)

I had a very tiny dilation noticed because of an upper gi for acid reflux at night. They removed about 0.25cc's from my band in the hopes it would help. Today was my follow up upper gi and now it has either gotten way worse or I have a slip (the pouch is so big they couldn't tell). My only symptoms were heartburn/reflux. That is still all it is. I got a total unfill for 30 days and we will see where it goes from there. I feel so lost! I was doing so well and just really don't want a setback and REALLY don't want another surgery

      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? 🤷‍♀️
