Is my band too tight?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I had a fill today and I've been struggling to keep down even Water, let alone any other drinks. Is this normal?? I do burp which I assumed is normal and indicates that the Fluid is going down. But every time I have a drink I bring most of it up. I've had my band for 1 year now and I've had no issues at all. Will things settle down in the next few days or does this mean my band is too tight. I'm at six and a quarter which I didn't think was to tight. Will it settle or will I need a de fill? I'm worried I'll become dehydrated. Thanks. Marina

You may be a tad too tight. You should be able to get and keep Water down. Were you given some Water to drink immediately after the adjustment? And it went/stayed down comfortably? If you have not improved since you posted your note, call your bariatric office. Someone should be on call. I'm guessing that you're in Belgium and may have had the fill close to 20 hours ago.

The amount of saline in your band means nothing. What does matter is how well any amount works for you. It's possible that even a fill that seems good while still in the office can prove too much after a while.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
