I Panic Easily Help Me



Recommended Posts

Hi y'all

The past couple days nothing has been staying down. Everything gets stuck. I can keep Water and coffee down but, even slim fast goes down rough. I'm in a state of panic thinking my band slipped. I had a fill 2 weeks ago and everything was ok up until yesterday. It's that time of the month (sorry guys) could that have something to do w/ it? I'm very nervous and need some one to tell me some thing. How would I know if my band did slip? And what should I do? I'm gonna just try musshies for the next few days and call my doc on tuesday seeing as how mon a holiday. Any advice would be helpful.

I'm newly banded so I don't have much experience still, but I have read people talking about an adjustment not "kicking in" until a week or two later. Perhaps it's too much restriction? I hope everything is okay, let us know what you find out from your doctor - goodluck with everything!

I'm new too. But I feel for ya! Since you can keep down Water and coffee, sounds like everything is A O K. My doctor said that if your band slips you can't keep anything down at all. You may have got something stuck and it has to work its way through. At any rate, call you doctor immediately.

I panic easily too. And it's usually not as bad as I think!

I'm not banded yet, so check with your doc on this one. Anyway, last week I met with my doctor and had 101 questions. Well the one that sticks out the most is the one about my band feeling tight during that time of month for us ladies. I even told my husband about it just in case i would forget and freak out. You mentioned it is that time of the month so maybe its that. Hope this helps.

Yes it could be because of Time of Month that you are feeling more restricted! ...I've read in many books and many posts where people say that due to swelling during menstrual cycle you will have more restriction. Hopefully you will feel better in a few days. Keep us posted.

It is not unusual for a fill to "set in" at the two week mark. You sound like you need a slight unfill. I was surprised to find out that a fill can have a delayed reaction like this...you may get a fill and everything seems fine and then you wake up about two weeks later and everything is stuck. No abnormal, but you do need to get in to see the doc for a sligh unfill probably.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
