Band Feels Too Tight???????



Recommended Posts

Kay here's what happened I can't really eat any kind of amount of food but I can drink Water. It feels like my band is to tight but the last time I had an ajustment I had my band unfilled because I was experiencing the same thing that time. But I really want to know if this has happened to anyone else. Months after an ajustment my band gets tighter I'm confused could it be signs that my band is close to slipping? Help please!?

Hello! First I would tell you to see your doc! It is strange that the tightness came virtually out of nowhere! But I don't think I'm too worried. For sure though, you should NOT live with a band so tight that you can only keep liquids down. Good luck!

This happened to me twice. I got a fill in November and had good restriction and then all of sudden my band got so tight I could barely even get Water down. I went about 5 days on hit fluids thinking it was just swollen until I finally called my Dr. Then I got an emergency unfilled and the prn said it happens sometime. Then about a month after that my band got tight again over night and I went in for another unfilled. It's so strange when it happens, so trust me call your Dr.

      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.
