Too tight?



Recommended Posts

How do I know it's too tight or if it's just swelling? Because normally my recovery time varies.

I've never had an entire CC put into my band at once, it's usually only a 1/4 or 1/2 but the nurse and I agreed that I wanted to be more aggressive because I am stuck at my weight and still too hungry. Well, Water goes down fine but then yesterday (day after fill) I could only have two bites of applesauce and some green tea and sugar free popsicles. Today, I tried solids (stuuupid)- some cheese- and now even tea comes up. I've vomited so many times since my fill because the first day I kept trying things like milk and stuff and the second day because I ate too much applesauce.

I don't know if it's because the band is too tight or if it's because I've been vomiting so much that I'm just swollen. I'm sticking to Water for the rest of the day, to see if that helps, but I'm wondering if it just comes down to the band being too tight.

Advice?

I am sorry you are suffering, I have been there many times. Since tomorrow is Friday please call the office if you aren't any better. What started out as mild swelling has turned into major swelling from barfing so much. Try to rest your tummy for tonight and start out with a popsicle then warm tea by the spponful in the morning.

Best wishes,

Mimi

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
