2 Years after surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery almost two years ago, may 19th will be two years. My last fill was in february 2010. I was doing fine up until this year in feb. Out of no where it was so hard for me to drink and eat. When I did drink and eat sometimes I would throw up. I was scared that maybe my band slipped. I want to the dr and they did the xray. They said the band was fine but the tech said it looked like my band was to tight. How can that be...I havent had a fill in over a year and all of a sudden it gets tight. My dr wont take anything out of me and some days I am really srruggling to eat something. Has anyone experienced this????? I could see if I went and had a fill and it was to tight but I havent had one in over a year. What could be going on???

I have had sudden tightness sometime after a fill, but not as long as you. My dr. took some Fluid out and I was fine. I would go back to your doc. and describe what's been going on. I can't imagine why he won't take a bit out.

Could it maybe have partially slipped and they just can't see it on the x-ray? Very strange indeed. Personally I would talk to your doctor again and fully describe what is going on with you and your band

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
