Worried, about a prolapse



Recommended Posts

Was banded May 9,2013. Got my first fill 4 weeks later. I did great until my 3rd fill in Aug. I was a little too tight and having reflux pretty bad and wasn't able to get my food down. So went to the dr and had some Fluid removed and immediately began to feel better, then about two weeks after that I got an awful stomach virus and was terribly sick for over a week. During this time I had more fluid removed to give my stomach a chance to heal and settle down from the virus and throwing up so much. We'll that was five weeks ago. I just went in today for an adjustment. I had gained 3 lbs, which didn't really surprise me since I lost almost 10 lbs in 6 days while I was sick. But today I was told I have a prolapse. I've got to go back in 4 weeks from today. If it doesn't look better then all of the fluid must be removed, wait another 6 weeks and check to see if it is any better, if not I will have to have surgery to reposition the band. Has anyone else had any problem like this?

Yes I did last year and never got back to where it once was. I was Up to 6.5 but only went up to 5 but will go in this week for 1cc more and hope that puts me cback in the green. I did maintain very well and did go off program from time to time gain 5 lbs at the most but it casme over fast with just a few days eatting right and SLOW I still have 15 lbs to go and really want to make it.

They took all the fuild out the day they discovered the proasp I surprized they didnt they do the same to you. Doc did say it will never work the same and it hasnt but I hope thats not how it works.

      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!
