Why am I doing this? I don't even feel close to full but almost every time I take a breath, I cough. I didn't eat fast either. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op.

We maybe doing this b/c you are full, its a different full after being banded. You will no longer get the stuffed full feeling you're used to.

Cough, sneeze, hiccup, sigh ,(me) pain in shoulder can all signal you are full.

Sounds like a full signal to me. And I mean lap band full not pre-lapband full! I always stop at the early signal... gets really ugly after that!

From time to time I get the coughing and its one of the signs for me I've had enough. It's odd sometimes I get a runny nose other times its the coughing.

Weird cause I have had the runny nose thing, too. It is just so daunting cause this is happening and I am still hungry. And it isn't head hunger it's definitely stomach hunger. :-(

Yes jersey I get the runny nose at times half way through my meal whilst I'm still hungry, this little tool can be moody at times.

My nurse told that coughing is generally a sign that your band may be too tight as well as the hiccuping I used to get hiccups as a soft stop then I had .25 cc out of my band and I actually burp not lol no more hiccuping

My does the same thing something about pressure and nerve endings being close to the band it's a normal sign " hard stop" that means your past full and you've eaten too much I usually lay down when it happens ( if I gave that convenience) and it goes away quicker just make sure you have a couple soft pillows behind your shoulders.

If it doesn't stop you should see your doc.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
