TOO TIGHT!



Recommended Posts

I received a fill on Oct. 6 - 3 weeks ago. I have been tight since then but able to get down solid Proteins as long as they aren't too dry. Been doing really well with my food choices, fluids and Vitamins. Yesterday I wasn't feeling well so I stayed home from work - couldn't pin point it - just run down extremely exhausted feeling.

Ate something in the morning after I had my morning coffee that got stuck. Well it stayed stuck for a while and after I finally got it out I made myself a cup of hot Water with lemon and honey. I sipped that and yup stuck again. Again that came up and I tried some more liquids as the day went on everytime getting the stuck feeling. Well, finally I went to bed even though I still had the stuck feeling. Propped myself up on pillows and tried to sleep. I seemed to wake up every hour or so last night choking and having to throw up. It was a horrible night! This morning I tried to drink something hot and got the stuck feeling. I just got some cold water and same thing. I called my doctor this morning and made an appt for this afternoon.

What do you think? Possibly a little virus? Or my band just finally got tighter after the fill? Do you get tighter weeks after a fill? I usually get tight around my period but that is not scheduled to appear until end of next week? Worst night with the band so far. Just when I think I got this thing down a new surprise.

So sorry for your bad night. My band is a little tight, but nothing like this! I have heard from many people that it can take up to 2-3 weeks to feel the actual effects from a fill, so I'm thinkin its def too tight. Glad you made the decision to go to the doctor. I think its a scary situation anytime you can't even get liquids down. Take care, let us know how you feel after the doctor!

It can take a while for a fill to really "settle in". How did you appointment go?

Thanks for your replies! My appointment was great. She pulled out some Fluid and kept it out for a minute or so and I actually felt whatever was lodged in there pass. It was such sweet relief! ahhh....She also took out the .5 fill I got last visit. I go back next week to see if I feel ok and to see if we want to put back the .5. I am taking it super easy and doing mushies today and tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great weekend! :D

      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.
