I am 6 months post op. (Dr. Dillemans, Belgium).

I lost weight quickly at the beginning ( about 14lbs in the first month)

then it slowed and then came to a dead stop.

I know that there is something working there... When I eat a dry cracker or potato or bread *too quickly* and without chewing really well then I get the dreaded feeling (watery eyes, wanting to eb sick elephant chest etc) but I can, and DO still eat those things nearly every day without a problem.

So I know there has been something happen in there, and I generally eat less that I did before banding, but certianly not as little as I expected to eat.

I also have BAD pain almost non stop about 2 inches below my port area. It is horrible. It has always been a bit of a sore spot for me, but it got worse after my last fill (which really hurt BTW). It has not settled down since then, which was now 5 weeks ago. Today it is REALLY bad. Its not hot, red, swollen, or anything like that. It just plain hurts like I have pulled the muscles there big style.

I have (apparently) 7 and a half mls in my band.

I did not think the previous fill Dr. was any good and he has since stopped doing them, so I am not actually sure that he did anything at all... except for the fact that I have not lost or put on any significant weight either.

I am folling all th rules too - like drinking + eating = NO

So I am in pain, can eat too much and I am not losing.

What does a flipped port feel like? Are there any symptoms with infections in the port...

How much are others eating at 7.5 mls?? (ps I dont understand all this stuff about cups!)

Heres what I ate yesterday:

2 large bananas for Breakfast

400g of couscous with veggies and stuff for lunch

400g ready meal with sweet potato, haloumi and bulgar wheat 4 dinner

Snacks - 2 yoghurts and about 4 coffees and several pints of sugar free squash (cordial), an apple...

That was it, but I am not completely satisfied after all that either...

thoughts would be good.

cheers

Bunny

  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.

    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!
