Reflux, unfilled, weight gain



Recommended Posts

Any feedback will be appreciated. In March I was diagnoised with severe acid reflux and had all my fill taken out. In May I had breast reduction surgery and am loving that. But since March, I have put back on 25 pounds. I am ashamed of myself and am kicking my butt over it. I am working on getting back to that food diet and consumption of food. My biggest concern is going back to get fillled again. I know I've done wrong, but I need to get back on the horse, so to speak. Any of you out there ever backtracked like this? Thanks....

I had severe reflux too. Up and down all night and unable to eat. The Dr took out my fill too and I am gaining weight. It is awful I am hungry all the time. I ge a fill in September. This just reinforces the fact having the band does make a positive difference. I am trying not to beat myself up to much but it is hard.

Wow, it is good to hear that I am not the only one who feels like I should be doing better. I have gained, lost, and gained and lost but the best thing about the band is the flexibility. Hang in there, you will do great after the fill because you have seen both sides now.

Thank you both. I go back Sept 2 and start with my fills again. I've also started a Water aerobics class, 5 days a week. Your responses are welcomed and appreciated. I talked to the doctors nurse a few weeks back and she said that I wasnt' the first person and I wont be the last. I've been trying to eat like I have the band on, and remembering the hungry pains. But I'm ignoring them, as much as possible, because I want this to work.

My band was unfilled over a year ago due to sever reflux (I would actually wake up puking on my pillow) and I'm going to be refilled Oct 21st and I'm TERRIFIED. I had my surgery in 2005, lost 100 lbs and I've gained back 68 lbs now. I'm scared to get the fill and have it result the same way but I'm also scared to NOT get the fill and keep gaining :( I know it's my fault, I should still be eating as if I have the band full but the hunger is soooo overwhelming. Glad to hear I'm not the only one and I would love to hear how your fills go...

      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.
