Unsure if it's acid reflux or something else. I traveled and my band tightened. I came home and it got better. I caught a cold and I haven't eaten as my throat was too sore. Since 3am I have been vomiting a brown liquid. If I lay down its worse, it comes up and I can taste blood. I've never had this happen. No Dr. available I would have to go to the ER.

Thank goodness. I'm trying to keep my band as long as possible... I'm a bit over 10 years... good days and weeks. And some rejection times..
The weight has stayed off though. Thankfully
Please update. And did the er know what to do??

No the ER was not knowledgeable of the band luckily they have a bariatric surgeon who was called in. He advised me the band is becoming less and less. But he has a few patients still and is going to take care of me. My doctors at True Results are no longer as they closed down and my doctor I had well I found she was not knowledgeable and that is why I ended up in the ER. My band has had all Fluid removed until July to let my stomach heal and it is a struggle everyday but I am pleased I am healing and alive to have a struggle. Thankful every day.

How goes it with the band emptied?

My take was it was difficult to stay on a banded program of eating. The cravings seem to still be there if I ate just a bit too much. My body wanted more ...

It has not been easy. I do my best to stay with 2 Protein Shakes and then a sensible dinner. So far I have not gain. July cannot get here soon enough haha!

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
