Girl - go get unfilled - you are too tight - being too tight can cause problems with your band - call your doctor

Yes,you can be too tight. I just got reband 02/08 and went today for my 1st fill. You know they have you take sips of Water to make sure it goes down fine. Well it did go down fine. Immediately when I walked out of the doctor's office I had the feeling I had to throw up. Well being too tight is not a good feeling it felt like I was in labor pains, or had gas trapped in by back. I throw up about 6-8 times crying I could not take it anymore. I knew something was wrong I called the doctor office and they told me to come back. When she took the Fluid out the band immediatley the pressure and pain went away, this time I didn't want that much fluid.

your numbers got messed up and says 2st 3lb since may 31st. what was it supposed to say? i was banded november 2007 and have lost 48 pounds. i started as 245 on a 5'8 frame. my goal is 180. i know too tight is not good because it can wear on your band(my doc told me yesterday).

      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!
