My allergies are out of control !!



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all my sinuses are putting a whooping on me and my eating habits ! I'm trying best to stay hydrated more than anything and if I am able to eat get Protein in ... Lately I feel like I live on black piping hot coffee and hot tea ... I have precaution allergy meds but they seem to work when they want too .... !!!! cause I'm not the type to run back for a deflate when the band isn't the problem ... Any advice ??

I have Fluid removed when my allergies are bad because the sinus drainage tightens my band.

I suggest a slight unfill for now.

I didn't say it would damage your band. Drainage makes my band tighter & therefore I can't eat normally. Just wanted to clarify that. It is best to check with your doctor.

I use Musinex in liquid form. Seems to help with drainage most of the time.

Defintely a game changer, last time had band loosned, I am trying to see if I can work this one out till the season changes in a couple of weeks,,, 100 a pop to take out Fluid n put back in..any other suggestions?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
