Is it Possible? Can i be too tight?



Recommended Posts

Hello All. I was banded April 16, 2009 and have lost 127 lbs so far. Yay! But lately I have been having so much restriction that I cant keep keep anything I eat or drink down. Even if i drink in really small sips. I believe my fill was only 2cc's but that was last june. So it's been over a year. I would think that I would be losing restriction but its just really bad.

Does this sound like a slip or being too tight?

Thank you for your thoughts! :thumbup:

I know it is possible. In Feb, I had a small unfill and again about 2 weeks ago. I can't explain it, and neither can my doctor, but he said that it does happen. During that time, I lost 20 lbs and I would have thought that I'd need a fill, but I just keep getting tighter and tighter. I had .3cc taken out last time and I'm considering going back and having some more removed. I eat healthier when I can eat solid food and not just mushies and sliders.

Hi:

Please go see your doctor. He/she should be able to tell what's going on. You don't want to fool around with this.

Take care.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
