Sudden restriction before first fill?



Recommended Posts

Hello Fellow lap banders :Banane03:

So, I was banded June 16th, I was just commenting yesterday about my band how I can eat constantly, always hungry, no restriction etc. ...Well, I let myself get extremely hungry yesterday (stupid I know) and I had the worst case of a growling stomach, ever since then I have had a lot of restriction which I have not had since the band.

And today for the first time I had "sliming" ick!

Has anyone else had something similiar? sudden restriction before your first fill? (Having my fill Tuesday July 22nd) :)

I didn't slim but I know yesterday I waited too long to eat and when i did I felt like an over stuffed cow and it was painful so I had to lay down for like 3 hours before it subsided. I even went to bed without eating and this monring running late I didn't even grab anything to eat at all and here it is noon already and am not leaving from work till 1:45 not a very good schedule here, I did have some Peanut Butter and crackers but let's just say I needed an egg or something not that crap! I am stuck here at work till then too :) UGH!!! I feel ya though!

you might have eaten to fast cause you were so hungry and so now your stomach is irrated. Or its in your head and you are just afraid of the fill who knows. I know i have lots of problems in my head with my band.

Thank you to both you for your replies :)

Acutally I can't wait for my fill on Tuesday that is for sure. I am pretty comfortable with the condition of my mental state and old habits, but thank you for the reminder.

Perhaps I ate something that is just irritating (as you suggested) or just got stuck, I will ask my surgeon about it if it is not feeling better.

Take care both of you and Cheers!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
