So for almost 2 weeks now I have been having trouble keeping things down, after everything I try to eat it comes back up...and I start hiccuping right away...and they are loud and annoying. So I think an unfill is needed right? Also ladies does your bra ever make you feel like your choking when food is stuck?

I am having that right now, 2weeks ago I had a 1/2cc added and been sliming every since, the only time my food stays down is when I eat with a baby spoon and that's usually a creamed Soup, and no to the bra question

But I have lost 6 pounds since! I will wait a few more days cause I have swelling after a fill and sometimes it takes a while for things to feel right

as long as you are able to drink fluids and stay hydrated give your band a chance. first make sure you are taking small enough bites, and chew well and wait to see if it goes through, you will know fairly quickly. continue eating this way. usually about half way through your meal and you are eating properly you will notice that the food is going through just fine and you don't have sliming. sometimes it take more than a few weeks for everything to settle down. good luck.

When I was too tight, I did indeed undo my bra just not to feel so confined. Not sure if it helped really, but at least psychologically I felt like I was being proactive.

I have been having the same thing minus the bra problem. I am even experiencing it with my Protein shakes in the morning and even pudding, etc. Thicker things that normally wouldn't budge the slime ball to come it does. I just made an appointment to get some Fluid taken out. As much as I love seeing the number going down the scale I hate that I can barely eat anything and always find myself with a tight chest and loud hiccups.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
