Omg! I Was Filled On 11/11 Got Very Tight On 11/27!



Recommended Posts

I had my band filled to 9 cc, after a week (it was tight and I did feel restriction)- it all of sudden got WAY WAY WAY tight. Literally 7 days later. I have no idea why it took 7 days, but the night it went on "TIGHT" mode I thought I was going to die. Throwing up or rather dry heaving all night and the next day, finally got in to have it adjusted, but I am still messed up. It is 3 days since the loosening. Went down to 7 cc. Anyways I am NOT complaining, and I love the band, but this has been major and hurt like a mother. Just sharing.

I have my band going on 4 yrs now and this happens to me all the time. Right now I had 1/4cc put in about 2 mos ago and I had very little restriction and for the past 2 weeks and this week especially I can barely get liquids down. My Dr is on vacation until next week and I will have 1/4 cc removed again. Either I have no restriction or I can hardly drink and that seems to be the way the band works, at least for some of us. I have never seemed to get to the "sweet spot" some people refer to. I wish I could because this is very frustrating.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
