Recommended Posts

:scared2:I got my lap band in Nov of 2006 and I lost almost a hundred pounds by Nov of 2007. Then got pregnant. I had my baby august of this year. I went back for my band fill and have had nothing but problems. The first fill the dr sd he wasnt sure if he got it in or not but he put 3 cc and told me to eat liquids all week. by the end of that week I was starving so I called him back and he said well maybe it didn't go in. so he re did the fill for 2 more cc and the same thing so he sent me to the hospital for a fluro fill and this time it took. By the time I got home I had a small glass of Water and it was not working i want6ed to just throw up. could not keep nothign down. By the next day was very sick called the doctor then then had me admitted and deflated. Two weeks later I got reinflated and the same thing I am so restricted on 2 cc. I am sitting here can barely drink water want to throw up and can not even eat food. It has been 3 days sisnce my fill and I have not been able to eat anything. What is going on???? Anyone have any ideas b/c my dr sure teh hell dont....please advice...

well u obviously need to get unfilled. for some reason, there is too much restriction with 2 cc's. give ur body time to relax after ur pregnancy. good luck! be patient!

Did you feel you needed a fill or did you just get one cause you thought you need to lose weight. If you think you need to lose weight you have to go easy on yourself you just had a baby. I would get an unfill and focus on eating fruit, vegies, dairy and animal Protein so you and your baby, if your still breast feeding, keep in good health. I have no kids but I remember hearing somewhere it takes a year for your body to go back to normal after a baby.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
