UGH! Im back again



Recommended Posts

So as I lurk around I notice that I am not the only one whose band has not been so kind to them!:)

I am once again completely unfilled and gaining weight rapidly. For the third time since November i've battle severe GERD and lost:cursing:. The only positive thing was my band hasnt slipped and no erosion is apparent. Yippee! This is such a rollercoaster I have been on that I stayed away because I was tired of crying, feeling sorry for myself, and just didnt want to seem like a failure. Anywhoo, my appt for a fill is not until APRIL 10 and i dont know what i will weigh by then. Im terrified:confused:

I love my band but it doesnt love me!

I know that terrified feeling. It's awful. Hopefully they will get it right this time and you will start losing again.

I've been pretty much on liquids for about a month. Not fun but at least on liquids I don't get the pain. I'm getting an unfill on Thursday.

Keep coming back. You'll get lots of support and we really understand.

Hang in there.

Oh dear! I am so sorry to hear aobut this; you must bed very discouraged!

The fact though that you are still with the band, that you haven't given up in despair speaks very highly of you and your committment.

As much as possible, try to live the bandster life until you can get a fill, and keep swimming (even if it is against the tide!)

The unfill seems to have done the trick. I'm doing much better. Just have to get back on track and lose these last few pounds.

      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!
