i was banded april 22nd and actually felt like i had no restriction. i started a Water aerobics class about a week ago and now i have massive restriction. i ate a few bites of chicken today, chewed very thoroughly, very small bites and now i feel like i have been punched hard in the stomach. it hurts to breathe and to walk and to lay down. has anyone experienced this before? i emailed my dr and he said he just thinks it stuck and will pass but it hurts to even drink water. how can i deal with the pain?

Tell that doctor that it hasn't gone away! If you are stuck it should pass in a couple of hours. Call him and tell him it has been a week! Not sure what the problem is but remember ( this is my mantra) He did not do the surgery for free. Good luck and let us know how you are.

I thought the inability to drink water or pain doing so was a tell-tale sign that something is wrong?? I'd definitely call your Doc and insist to be seen! It's your body dont live in pain!! Good Luck & keep posted so we know your ok!!

You should definitely see your surgeon as soon as possible, or go to the emergency room, they can at least do a test to see what is going on. Good luck to you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
