I'm loose as a goose....did the wine kill my band??



Recommended Posts

Ok, I first need to admit I did something really stupid Sunday night.:paranoid I drank a few too many glasses of wine. I know I didn't throw up though...just sorta passed out and woke up with a killer hangover.:cry

Anyway, I have been contemplating another fill because at times I seemed to be able to eat too much. However, I usually experience the tight feeling at least once per day especially when eating starchy carbs (which I try to avoid).:) I am worried because I am loose as a goose. Since Monday morning I can eat anything and have NO restriction.:( I was also thinking maybe my band is leaking because the restriction seems to be less and less since my last fill. Maybe the wine on Sunday night is just a coincidence. It was also my TOM when I got my last fill. So, I guess there are several factors to consider.

I am going to get a fill tomorrow and they do it with barium so I guess I will find out if I slipped it. Needless to say, I have sworn off alcohol. I just can't handle it the same way anymore.:Banane45:

I think the wine is a coincidence. I had wine on my birthday on Saturday and no ill effects what so ever.

Quick update...I did not slip my band. Although I learned that I need to watch the alcohol consumption alot more carefully now and be more responsible. I am now at 3.4 cc in a 4 cc band. Of course, I still don't know if I have restriction since I am on liquids. Thanks for reading for those who care and thanks Faybie for your response.

What did you learn? just that throwing up is bad? This is interesting to me actually because I am a cancer survivor and there is a chance I will need to go through chemo again. Throwing up is an everyday occurance for chemo patients. I hadn't thought about that....

Hi Faybie, Thanks again for responding. Nope, I didn't throw up BUT I know throwing up is really bad because you could slip the band. I just learned that I was really irresponsible for drinking so much and losing control of myself...I'm just sorta still beating myself up about that. I didn't really know for sure what happened but I was pretty sure I didn't throw up. I just feel like us bandsters need to know all the time what we are doing because if I had slipped my band I wouldn't really know if it was something I ate or did, etc.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
