I was banded May 2013 lost weight prior and right after surgery but now have put it back on as well, not all of it but close. Very disappointed and hate the way my doctor acts towards me so si have not gone back since sept, I just not sure if it is all me or the band has slipped, wish I knew if it has slipped or not

Suez journey how are things going with the RNY from dec 23?

I think it may have slipped, at times I can eat and then at times I take one bite and have to excuse myself from the table to go to the restroom to cough it up or wait for it to go painfully down..just don't know. Thinking of changing my doctor also, my doc said to me no need to see him if I just going to gain the weight it was my choice

How did you know your band slipped, I was banded May 2013 lost several # s till August, and stuck issues, well my eating style and old habits changed , I stopped watching calories but just now I am almost back to my original weight and I can eat like I use to and have no problems but a do have a few stuck issues and pain in my left shoulder when I have stuck issue. Can it of slipped? Or just pouch stretched out? I hate it....I am so upset and miserable

So I have fallen off the wagon, I have gained 5 pounds back...I am so disappointed in myself. I go weds to doctor. My husband came home from afghanistan and we have celebrated and been out with friends, been over to friends homes for BBQ etc...I need your help and prayers ... I need to get back on track :/

I was banded May 20, down 23 pounds and 2 fills, now having stuck episodes some...who else was banded in May?

Awesome, can't wait till I get down there, slow is the way to go!

@drehn. Yes that is a stuck feeling, awesome for all of us!

Congrats! How long did it take you to lose it

Yes if I have a stuck episode

I was banded may20, got my second fill last week and I now have 7cc total in and, first fill was4ccs, but now After second fill I seem not to be able to burp for relief but I do have gas and very much of it, I have not farted so much in my life until this past fill, what the heck Is going on? Help!

First was 4 ccs for me

Can you eat chips? With cheese, I love nachos but afraid to try them..just on a special date night with my hubby we always share them, i was banded one month ago and he is overseas and will be home in 5 weeks

Ajtexas. So How soon we're you able to eat normal food, I am 11 days postoperative.

Thank you ajtexas

I use to go to diner and drink with BFF now I want to do this but will I ever get to eat normal food anytime soon? Like a hamburger. Or BBQ ...can't stand thinking I may never get to go hang with BFF and do dinner and drink

Toward, so are you able to beer? Carbonation?

To slimchia Describe the stuck, how will I know when I have one? Will or are you able to vomit it up?

So where is my port located, at the large incision or a small one on my left side. Is it different for everyone..I am 1 week post op and last night rolled to grab something on the night sand and a very sharp pain on my left side to my center , was it the port line...what could it be, scared

Thank you. Scared me badly

@dreukeepr I thought the same thing but ended up taking off all week. I think you will need to give yourself time to heal and you will still be exhausted from the surgery and meds

I am post op 6days now but wondering if I am swollen or not or why am I feeling larger in stomach now than before the surg

How do you know it is stuck. I am 6 days post op, just finding out about all this stuck .,how does it come unstuck, by itself?

Countryheart2000 Glad you found this site , much better than YouTube, just remember it is something that healing from will take time

I have to wear this binder around me and I am wondering can it be taken off when I sleep, also can my incisions heal by wearing this all the time? I wear it under my shirt.
