Not Tight In Am, Anyone Else?



Recommended Posts

I have about 3cc or just under in 10cc band. Banded 1/18/12 and doing well. Haven't had a fill in 2 months and I'm happy with weight loss and feeling of satisfaction between small meals. Lately I've noticed that I don't "feel" my band at all, not in the morning, not at night, nada. I've read so much about so much on here, I see that "loss of restriction" could be erosion or leak... Am I just a worrywart? Can anyone else relate to this?

It could be that you have lost fat around your stomach so the band is looser. I would recommend going to see your doctor.

I would think it's more likely that you need a fill again. I have never had restriction in the mornings, but I don't think I have hit my green zone yet. I am losing weight - total of 34 since June 22nd, so I am still happy with it. My doctor did say that as I loose weight I lose weight inside around my stomach so the "belt" has to be tightened.

I would call and go in, if they do you fills with floro then they will know for sure.

Thank you for the responses. I see the doc next week, and will tell him. I'm hoping it's the weather or something. I reallydon't want another fill yet, but I thought everyone felt morning band tightness and I certainly don't, now anyway.

I just had .25cc removed wed. Had fill last week and it made me too tight. I was vomiting in my sleep and miserable. Was still able to eat but was still horrid at night. I feel better. Still have a tight feeling in my chest but dr said my tummy swollen so take a few days to go down. But there is a big difference a lil unfill will make.

      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.
