hm...(this is not good) as not being able to keep things down is dangerous...you sound (that is if you have fills) maybe way too tight. i personally would call your doctor and let them know what is happening and get this took care of.. congrats on that superb weight loss.....please call the dr and then let me how what he says...hang in there okay

I agree that I think a call into your dr. is in order. Sometimes stress, illness, etc can cause the band to be tighter and if you cannot keep anything down, there is a chance it has slipped too (sorry, don't want to scare you) just think it is very important like CG said too to call your dr. and find out what's causing it. I hope you feel better soon.

I agree to call your doctor. If you havent had a fill recently and this is happening you really should have your band checked soon.

Call your surgeon's office. You might have a slip! Good luck

This happened to me. My band became tight all of a sudden on its own, with 3.5 cc. Barium would barely drip thru. I had a complete unfill 7 months ago, I've lost with no fill, but still have restriction. My EGD/esophogram were both normal, showed no slip, erosion, but my stoma is about half the size of the band itself. My doctors feel that scar tissue built up between the band and stomach causing the stoma to be much smaller than it should be with 0cc in my 11 cc band. You need to get to your bariatric surgeon ASAP. Keep us posted.

      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.
