I need some help!



Recommended Posts

Was banded on May 1st - have lost only 22 pounds. Have had two fills and one almost unfill. I can't seem to keep anything down...spend most of my time puking. Lost my job a month ago with my insurance so I can't go back to the doc until I findi another job with insurance.

Maybe I am trying to ear too much??? I don't know...my first six weeks were heaven....now it is hoirrible. I am definately wondering at this point why I did this.

Can you tell me what you typically eat throughout the day? Maybe I am trying to eat more than I should.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Sherry:faint:

Well, Sherry, I wish I could help you. I have been banded only since August 27th. Your nightmare is my greatest fear. I do know this; keep plenty fluids going. You do not want to be dehydrated. Good luck. Let me know what happens.

In my experience - and I seem to have a lot of it since I just had a slip and spent WAY too much time throwing up - once you vomit your stomach is irritated. It's important to back off and stop trying to get food down. Go back to liquids for a day or so - then mushies. Give your stoma time to go back to normal. What ever you do - don't force it. And stay calm. Stress can also cause increased restriction.

All the best,

Laura

      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!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
