Does this happen to anyone else?

I have 3.6cc in a 4cc band. I do have some restriction because if I don't chew well enough I do get stuck. BUT, when I'm eating and do chew slowly I can feel it going through within a few minutes. So is that how the band is supposed to work? I thought it was supposed to sit in the pouch for awhile so I'd feel fuller longer? At this rate I'm still eating almost as much as before. Do I need more of a fill? I'm a little afraid to get more of a fill and then not be able to get anything through. My last fill I went from 3cc to 3.6cc. I do notice a little difference but my Dr seemed to think it would almost be too aggressive of a fill. Oh.. and that was 2 weeks ago.

HELP!

you can actually feel the food going from your small pouch to your stomach. I can usually feel it going down my throat to my stomach but I don't usually feel it going though the pouch. The best thing I can suggest is to talk to your doctor. Good Luck!

I think so. I know sometimes if I don't chew enough it kind of hurts so I think it's going through from the pouch to the stomach. It's the same place that hurts when I get stuck. I just worry I don't have enough of a fill if I can feel the food going through.

      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.

      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!
