A few quick questions....



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I was banded in 10/07 and I am doing pretty well. I am trying new foods but lately if I try a new food and it does not go down well, I am able to get it up and out pretty quickly. However, I am nervous that my band may slip because I heard that if you regurgitate a lot your band may slip. So I am have become very apprehensive to try new foods, even though my nutritionist is encouraging me to do so. Does anyone have any advise for me? Also, what are the signs of band slippage?

Next question, why is it that I can eat one kind of food in the evening and have no negative reaction and then try to eat the same exact food in the morning and have a horrible reaction. Any ideas?

Your responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

its not real good to PB a lot. are you chewing your food properly? are you drinking with your meals?

the band is a fickle tool.

yesterday for lunch i had 4 oz ground sirloin pieces, they went down fine, today i had 2 small pieces and PBd them ...

in addition, mornings tend to be MUCH tighter than evenings (usually liquids only in the morning.)

good luck

      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!
