Irritated band :(



Recommended Posts

This morning I woke up feeling a little tight ( has never happened before) but because I read on here that it happens to some people I thought it was ok. As I was drinking my coffee it felt like it wasn't going down right but still I thought it was fine. I went to the gym and the whole time I felt nauseous and like something was stuck. I came home laid down, got up same thing. So I started worrying that maybe my band had slipped. Finally I rang my dr who advised me that something is eaten yesterday had probably irritated my stomach and had caused it to swell slightly. So it's back to liquids for 48hrs :(

Good move contacting your dr for advice!

Hope it all settles down for you soon.

Hope you follow his advice to the letter! I irritated my band while on vacation last July and knew I should go back on liquids, but didn't. I did the exact same thing in October, and ended up with a slipped band, another surgery, and am just now trying to get back some restriction.

I won't make that mistake again!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
