Why is the band so unpredictable?



Recommended Posts

I know all too well about the unpredictability. And, quite frankly, I'm tired of it.

Would you mind expounding on what you mean by your post? I'm sure all of us would greatly appreciate your insight as we want to know what we are thoroughly getting into. I know for me...I'm getting the band in 4 days (still can't believe I'm doing this....little scary...but do it afraid right?_

Thanks Sis,

MD

A lot of banders find that their band is tight in the morning....and cannot do a lot without first "priming" it with coffee or tea. I was always one of these people. AND FORGET eggs, for me at least unless they are poached. I chalk it up to my band being "finicky" and therefore take it one day at a time. I am in desperate need of a fill though.

Anything else that you have learned? I've learned alot from even your last post.

Thanks Kelly !

Make sure, when you are allowed to eat solids, your meat is moist. Pork also gives me a hassle, often it comes right back up. Try everything ! It changes from day to day.

      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?

        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.

      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!
