tight sometimes??



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone else every have their band feel really tight sometimes, and then like its not there at all other times? Quite often I will drink something and can feel my band, or eat and the food instantly feels hung up for a few minutes, then clears.(this tends to happen at night and hurts!)

Then other times I can eat almost anything, and alot,with no problem and no pain. Am I the only one?

No you are not the only one......there are other posts on here regarding this issue...people say that the weather messes with their band. I know when aunt flo is coming to visit I get tight. This thing is never the same!

Yep, I can vouch for that! Just last week I was on here moaning about the disappearance of my restriction - yet woke up yesterday morning - and bam! It was back! Bizarre!

When I saw the title to your thread, I thought, yep, I have tons of tight clothes.. But I see that's not what you meant..LOL and those are not only tight sometimes, their tight all the time.... Hello my Florida friend, I don't have much restriction at this time so there are few things that I have a hard time eating, but when I first got my band I did experience that sensation you are talking about. I get filled tomorrow, so hopefully I can finally have some restriction and start losing some of this ugly weight.

It comes and goes all of the time for me. Sonce my last fill, it is luckily here mor often than not. Maybe it just depends on the amount of fills. I am pretty sure everyone has the same problem

I am really tight right now. I was filled last Friday and can't seem to eat anything of substance until around 2pm and then it is very slow and very little. I don't know if I am too tight or not. I am going to give it a few days and see h ow I am doing. I think I am getting my calories and nutrients, but I just can't eat much at once, I have to speread it out.

I am tight first thing in the morning, sometimes I can't even get in more than a few sips of coffee, then I loosen up some in the later morning, I can usually eat bandster size portions in the late afternoon, then in the later evening I tighten back up. This is varied and I can have unexpected periods of relaxation in the morning or at night, and it is subject to how I'm feeling, my monthly visitor tightens me up, colds/sinus issues tighten me up... it took some paying attention to my band habits before I realized how it was working for me, and now I plan my intake around it.

      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.

        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!
