My mother had the lap band surgery a year and a half ago. She has stopped losing weight and is eating horribly. Not only is the food terrible but she is eating huge amounts. I am not exaggerating when I say she ate half a pizza yesterday in one sitting. The day before she consumed 6 ice cream sandwich bars in 6 hours along with other food.
I was under the impression that you could not eat huge amounts of food when you got the surgery. I guess the point of this is that want to know if anyone else has experienced this. Has her stomach stretched out again?
I love her and I am worried. Her eating is out of control and I know it will hurt her if I say anything. Any input would be appreciated.
I also need to ask about her incessant burping and farting. The entire family has noticed and it is unbelievable how often it happens. This sounds terrible but we are all extremely irritated. There is not a day that goes by that we don't hear her constantly passing gas. Whenever she is going to eat or drink we know she is going to burp for about 20 minutes after she is done. Is this normal?
