Very worried ..... Just Phoned Gp out of hours and he says it sounds like acid reflux.... My Lap Band Surgeon is in Belgium...

Not sure what to do with regards to unfil....

Do you have a fill dr. nearby? You probably need some Fluid taken out, also try an acid reducer for reflux, don't eat anything before going to bed, and try to ingest only fluids for next two days and see if that helps. I'm not a doctor, just going by what I've been through.

I have this same problem occasionally. I switch to only Protein shakes for a couple of days (no real food) and it calms down on its own.

Hi Totallytater,

Thank you ! You would laugh at me if you saw me I have now got a cupoard full of the stuff I bought from the shops and hour ago :) I am hoping to do it for a week and now with a great supply of antacid tabs... The antacids are working well.... :tt1:

Thank you for your kind responce... xxx

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
