Too tight or just swollen



Recommended Posts

I finally went back to my doctor after around 2 years of not having a fill. He filled me under fluro and said everything looks good. He put maybe 1/4 cc in there then because he said the band was pretty full. That was 2 months ago. Last Friday, I woke up and had some tightness in my stomach and Water would just gurgle down, and there would be a slight pain with solids. It got to the point where if I extended my stomach out, which I do to help my food go down, it would shoot a pain through my neck. A week later, and it is still happening. I'm getting stuck more, still slight pain when I swallow solids for the first time after not eating for a few hours, feeling of tightness/pressure in my stomach. Neck and shoulder pain.

I have been having sinus headaches so not sure if it is related to that or if I'm too tight or if it's trapped gas (I haven't been using the bathroom as well recently). I had a slipped band years ago so it concerns me when something like this happens. It might be too tight, but it's weird that it took 2 months for it to happen so that's why I'm asking here. Not having reflux or anything like I had when it had slipped.

If you are having Migraines it could tighten your band. Maybe get a little Fluid out until migraines go away. See how it goes. Keep us updated!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
