Tightness Fluxuates?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I was banded 6/4/12. I currently have 8 cc's.

My question is this.. in the morning, my band feels more restricted. In the evening, it feels lose. I feel like I can eat anything (but don't, usually). Is this normal?

Thanks!!

for me this is normal. I am very restricted in the morning, and throughout the day it seems to loosen up. I usually don't even attempt to eat in the morning and lunch is usually a little iffy. once supper comes it seems much less restricted.

Yup, this is very nornal. My doc explained that as you sleep, Fluid pools around the band(think how tight your jewelry is in the morning), and as you move around the fluid redistributes itself.

Yes completely normal. Plus you will find some days its tighter than others there are many causes for this TOM, weather, stress, etc.... one bandster said her band was like a toddler you never know what you are in for. I've been banded for 7 months, comfortable with my restriction, loosing weight yet today my band is so tight that I'm doing liquids. Yesterday I could have eaten a horse, who knows what tomorrow will bring. It keeps us on our toes.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
