Too Tight after two months???



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!!its been a LONG while since I have posted. I had surgury 3-7-08 coming up on my one year anniversary and I am down 149 pounds. I am now what my doctor calls the "maint. stage" mainly because I lost most of my weight in the first 7-8 months. I think the last 15 or so I can do with just working out. ANYWAY here is my question the last 2 or 3 fills I had alot of trouble. I was too tight got dehydrated and had to be admitted(Fluid removed) then next fill same thing..got sick once (fluid removed) my doctor and I decided that since my weight was satisfactory for me that we would not add any more Fluid UNLESS I needed it....that was umm like 2-3 months ago. Now all of a sudden I cant keep solids mushy or otherwise down. Even liquid only sits for a while then has to come up. Tea has been ok but I am DYING for a glass of water! Has anyone heard of all of a sudden after soooo long getting too tight?? I should also mention that I had a bout with the stomach flu and I was thinking that maybe thats where the swelling started and now thats why I am too tight? I can't think of anything else. But I haven't eaten anything solid in over a week!! any ideas? I do have an appt tomorow but I just thought I wold ask if anyone has had the same prob!. thanks!!

It does sound like the stomach flu caused inflammation. Talk to your doctor, because it sounds like you should get an unfill until the swelling goes down. He/she will make sure to keep your best interests at heart. You are a success story and everyone loves that!

Congratulations on the great work and I hope you feel better soon. Please update after you see the doctor.

      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!
