Restriction from nowhere



Recommended Posts

So I got a fill about 8 weeks ago after a complete unfill back in May. I'm only at 4.5 in a 14cc band. I'm scheduled to go next week for another fill, because I haven't had that much restriction and I've been able to eat everything I want.

This past Friday, I started to notice restriction slightly, and it has steadily increased until yesterday I actually had a PB episode. It's not my TOM. I didn't eat dinner last night, and today Ive had Water and chicken powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

Should I be concerned about the suddeness of this? Yes, my allergies have been going wonky but I get shots and they help, and I've been taking suphedrine to try to dry up the drainage. And yes there is some batiatric pressure going on with a front trying to come through

I'm debating about canceling my appt next week and rescheduling for October.

Any thoughts? Should I be worried or should I ride it out and see what happens?

I'd keep your appointment and simply inform them what is going on....

The band does do strange things. Restriction can increase and decrease for no consistent reason. People have all sorts of theories why, but it can happen anytime for me ad after 4-1/2 years I still can pin it down other than a few things will cause band tightness such as irritation from eating the wrong foods.

I am the tightest first thing in the morning, and have not had a solid Breakfast since surgery.

There are days I feel I can eat anything, then there are days I do not eat anything...have no idea why.

Sometimes I am forced to eat nothing but Soups, etc for my dinner.

It comes and goes.

I have been banded going on 5 years, and i know my band's behavior very well....but I absolutely have no idea what is going on with your body....4.5cc in a 14cc band sounds to me like nothing,

But stick with your appointment and see what your Dr. says....by then this may have all passed.

Thanks. It's only been 2.5 years and I'm still learning with this. I've been drinking as much Water as I can, but I think it's my allergies and the barometric pressure. When I take the suphedrine, I get a window that I can eat in.

      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!
