Hi my name is Robin, I had Lapband surgery on April5,2007 also a hiatal hernia repaired. For the 1st week I did okay I guess because I ate nothing. So when I finally started adding small amount of food I could not keep it down my doctor tried several things to no avail. He always tells me what ever is going on has nothing to do with the Lapband. Any way a couple of weeks ago I was suffering from severe dehydration they could not even pick up my blood pressure, so he finally gave me a bag of fluids, now I'm retaining large amounts of Fluid. I'm miseable I still throw up at least once a day can someone offer any advice? Thanks Robin

I would insist that your surgeon look at you under flouroscopy. He will then be able to see the placement of the band and see how well Fluid is passing through. You should not be having these kinds of problems. For him to say it has nothing to do with the lapband without delving further is unacceptable. As your surgeon, even if it didn't have anything to do with the band, he should be running every test possible to determine what the problem is.

      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.

      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!
