I had the same problem a while back.. I was too tight and my band slipped. Now I had an unfill and waiting patiently to heal to see if it moved back.. I would call your doctor to check

My band slipped! Any thoughts?
beckermerj replied to beckermerj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope it does. Do you know what the recovering time is for it? Is it the same as the original surgery? -
Well just got back from the dr. and he took 2 cc out.. Just as I thought I had slipped just a little he said and that he will check back in a month. He said I might need revision surgery. He said I had been to tight for too long was the problem? Anyone have experience with this? I am happy with my weightloss so far this is a little scary. Just scared I may gain weight back/

I have been banded a year on the 13th !! I started at 220 and now I am at 165 ... so 55 lbs.. I think we are on the right track.. I am so much happier!!!! What were your symptoms that your band was to tight? I think mine might be a little tight.. I have an appt on tuesday of next week to see if there is a problem . I have a lot of tightness in my chest area after eating. I especially feel it when I am laying down.

I love TACOS!!!! Hard Shells and tostadas are easiest to go down .. I do not tolerate tortillas unless i can rip it apart a little by little. I just don't get soft shells anymore, I miss them but I like losing weight more !!!

I have had 3 fills and I have reached my sweet spot. I get things stuck especially in the morning or if I have waited to long to eat. I used to be an emotional eater and now that is not the case sometimes I feel like I forget about eating.. Life is so much better now. -
Last year at this time I was 220lbs... This year I am 165lbs... I am so happy, and love the compliments I am getting from people I have not been able to see in a while!!!

Not drinking while eating
beckermerj replied to Mommyto1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my 3rd fill.. it is impossible for me to eat and drink at the same time.. -
Yes, I was talking to my mom about that last night I am gonna give it the weekend and go from there :thumbup:
-
I received my 3rd fill on Tuesday and all I can say is wowsers. I hardly eat and when I do I feel full yippee.. Is this what I have been waiting for? The second day was extremely hard I kept getting stuck. I have to retrain myself again.. :thumbup:

Today I got my 3rd fill I had surgery January 13, 2010. I really have messed up the last few months eating whatever not paying attention I have maintained which the doctor said was good but I am disappointed with myself. I started this journey at 220lbs and now am at 179. Going forth I am making a promise to myself to be faithful to myself and loose 50 more lbs.
