Just wondering whe has had the band the longest?

Ooh I'm so sorry to hear that, and wish you the best on your next journey.

Why was it removed?

Ooh boy :/ Hopefully things will get better hang in there!

Can you share what your symptoms are?

This might be a stupid question but I'm curious to know if anyone with plication has done waist training? What are your thoughts/opinions?

Does anyone know any surgeons in Temecula/murrieta area or even in riverside that they would recommend? I'm looking into a arm lift revision due to my scars being very noticeable and thick. Thank u

Nice! Does ur doc know about ur experience with waist training?

Do you have any weight loss surgeries?

Thanks for all the info, I've been thinking of doing this, but didn't know much about it. I don't even know which one to get or where to get them lol But thanks for sharing info with me.

Waist training is a gradual process of waist reduction using a latex waist cincher or corset ,Also known as waist cinching this practice came to prominence during Victorian times.

Been banded 7 yrs ago, and plication 1 yr ago. The last 2-3 weeks I just randomly get this pressure of fullness. Like as if someone pumped air in my stomach and I feel super full and it's so uncomfortable. And it happens out of no where, not like when I'm eating or anything. And the fullness last hours, and I can't even sip Water because I feel as if it will get worst. After hours of this feeling, I start to feel hungry and able to eat. Anyone else experienced this?? I just emailed my doc with my concern and praying it does not have to do with my band of plication! :/

Pmt???

I went to see my Doc today and did the Nasal Endoscopy, and my band and plication are perfect, THANK YOU JESUS!!! He also, had a ultrasound to make sure it wasn't the gallbladder or gallbladder stones. And that came negative, THANK GOD!! He said it might be something fatty that I might be eating to make me feel bloated. So I will keep and eye out to see if there is a pattern. But I prayed to God it was nothing and believe in divine healing and also thank God for my wonderful doctor he truly is the best!! Thanks everyone for your advice and words of encouragement!

Can anyone tell me what the signs of a band erosion or slip? Or how you felt when this happened?

hi, I'm Dr Nassar bariatric Surgeon. If you have pain when swallowing, gastritis or reflux persistent endoscopy should be done to rule out an erision of the band and a intestinal tract X Ray to rule out that the band is displaced No I don't have any pain, or reflux, no chest pain. In the last 2-3 weeks all of a sudden I feel like super full, so full that it feels like pressure as if someone has gotten a pump and pumped my belly. So I feel so full that it's uncomfortable. For example, yesterday I had lunch at 11:30 am and I was fine. All of a sudden around 1:30 I started the fullness/Pressure start and it didn't go away till around 5 pm. During this time I just feel super full,and feel like if I even sip on some Water it will make it worst. Then after it goes away I start feeling hungry. The other day, I ate around 12:00 and around 2 pm I got the same feeling of fullness, I feel so full that it feels like my stomach is going to explode or that feeling that you get when you eat so much that u can't fit anything anymore and it's uncomfortable.on this particular day, that feeling didn't go away till like 7:30pm.

OK now I'm more confused and scared

Have you had a slip or erosion before? Did you feel like that? In the last 2-3 weeks I've had that feeling about 5 times. Tuesday it lasted about 4 hrs and yesterday 3 1/2 hrs. I just feel super duper full! And it's out of no where and very uncomfortable! Omg

Was wondering if any of the Veteran bandsters have experienced any wheezing just start on and off out of no where?
