HELP! Has this happened to anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I have not had a fill since the first of the year. I keep losing weight but for the last couple of days I cannot keep nothing down not even Water. I am trying to figure something out, I do not see how I can be to tight if I keep losing weight. I hope someone has an answer to my question. The doctors office is closed today and I am not sure what I should do.

Well, if you can't swallow Water, you're probably getting dehydrated? No Water, no weight? That could be why you're losing weight. You won't lose 1 lb of fat a day but you can lose 1+ lbs of Fluid.

Dehydration is very dangerous and you may need to go to the ER? Most bariatrics docs have emergency lines you can call them? Don't discount calling his answering service just because the office is closed. You may not need to go in but call him today!

Let us know how you are doing after you see the doctor and what his prognosis is. Did you need any Fluid removed from your band?

Went to the doctor he said something was stuck so he took some Fluid out. But I can drink and eat now.

      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!
