Help

Something has happened with my band - I did great with my pregnancy and gained about 20 lbs - still had restriction after he was born - all of of sudden - nothing - no restriction - I can totally eat like I did pre-band - as soon as I stopped breastfeeding in November - the wait just came on. My doctor thinks I have either an erosion or my tube disconnected!

Anyone with similar experience?

I would suggest you go in to see your doctor to diagnose the problem. Erosion is serious and if there is a problem it needs to be addressed quickly. If you have a leaky band, it can be easily diagnosed by your doctor as well. They can check volumes and changes in volumes.

Good luck. I hope everything is fine with your band and you just need a fill.

I had a baby in September 2008 and am having a similar experience. I'm not restricted at all and can eat large quantities and am fine all day. At night I get severe heartburn. I had a barium swallow and the Dr. said I have concentric dilatation. I was put on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and the heartburn went away. Now that I'm back on solid foods nighttime heart burn is back. I'm worried I will have to get my band removed. Anyway, I'm getting another barium swallow and talking to my surgeon.

It has been so hard with to wake up 2-3 times a night with heartburn and another 2-3 time to feed my baby. I have severe sleep deprivation.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
