What Does A Tight Band In The Morning Feel Like



Recommended Posts

or can you feel anything. I woke up this morning feeling full, gassy and uncomfortable. I am passing gas like a mad person. If I take a deep breath it feels tight under my chest bone like I feel like I ate too much and have indigestion or I am really hungry, can't decide. I am sure I am freaking a bit and it is just gas (had Beans for dinner last night and they might not be settling with me). I haven't had anything to eat in 12hrs. I haven't tried to eat or drink.

Or.................I am getting the flu that is going around - ugh.

I don't have Fluid in my band, I am only 3 weeks out. I almost feel like I did 2 days post op, just full and gassy........feels better when I stand. I know I am still healing, but I am sure those darn Beans have something to do with it, and I am pretty sure the lunch I grabbed from the fridge has beans in it - yikes, I am sure I can find something else.

I will just take it easy today. I also just moved to my next stage of eating, more solids, meat, crackers etc, so it could just be a shock to the system after being on liquids for over a month.

Thanks ladies

My doctor said that at night when we lay down Fluid pools in our mid sections which puts more presure on the stomach and band so we will tend to fill tighter in the am. I eat Cereal every morning, which most say is a slider, but I love my special K, Protein Shakes give me horrible indigestion so I do cereal. Some don't do anything but Water for the first couple of hours.

Each of us has to decided what works for us. The pressure and all you are discribing does sound like gas pains.

For me I wake up and my first thoughts are not...wow what can I eat....i get my coffee and sit to enjoy it then start to get my 5 lil ones up for school..and when i have to call alil bit louder for them to wake up...i feel a tightness that acually feels good....like a suttle fullness.....I get them all out the door...and usually sit and enjoy a greek yogurt with granola...or some egg whites....

      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.
