What Happened To Me?



Recommended Posts

Hello, First of all let me apologize for bothering you guys with such a dumb question, but you guys are the only people aside from my surgeon that can help me.

I'm scheduled for my much needed 2nd fill on the 27th of this month (wow! next week!) ... anyway, lately I have been very very hungry, so hungry that I have caught myself not waiting long enough between bites (i know, bad gabbi!) ....

Today I was eating some Mini Swiss cheese & Turkey Squares, right after my last bite I started getting pain on the pit of my stomach, followed by a painful feeling of something moving "through"....???.... i could of sworn i even heard it (im not crazy! lol) .....im sorry it's just so hard to explain. It went away after 5 minutes...i have never experienced this and for that reason im super paranoid that something happened to my band *cries*.... could this of been my very 1st stuck episode? I have also been taking Miralax for the past 3 days..could it of been my intestines? once again sorry for the dumb question....but any tips, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced pain the pit of my stomach. My two "stuck" episodes came from eating baby carrots two fast/not chewing well enough. Pain towards the back. VERY uncomfortalbe. I had no fills at that point. Have eaten carrots after 3 fills.

Sounds like a stuck episode that worked it's way through the band...That happens to me and yes I can feel it Move Through as far as hearing it it was probably gas escaping when the obstruction passed...Good luck and just remember eat slow and chew well...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
