finikey band...



Recommended Posts

Last Sunday I went through a day feeling like I was in banster hell.....

just wanted to eat eat eat......

this Sunday started with a tooth ache so I took 2 ibraprohins....with my coffee...

then I had a yogurt and could eat only half the cup....we were running late for church so

I didnt think much of it...put it in the fridge for later...

Got home and started lunch ate the yogurt i didnt finish earlier...i felt fine...

I dished out lunch and 2 bites into it I knew I was stuck.....

it lasted ALL DAY....i retched and sat in the bathroom most of the afternoon and night...

A few times I tryed getting some Water down and it hurt even more till it came back....

Finally i got to go to bed and i hurt most of the night...and even had reflex....which I have never had....

So this morning i tryed a lil coffee...it went down but i could feel it going down.....i had a lil yogurt and it was ok to...i did it it very slow...

I did call my Doctor...he is off today but said he could be in the office at 3:30 he would like to see me....

So I am going to ask to have a lil removed from my band...i have had one to many stucks....

even though I know its my own fault for not paying attention....

That's what happened to me a few times also when I had to have some removed. Had a few stuck episodes and the swelling wouldn't go down. Immediate relief afterwards! Hope you are feeling better soon.

If you have to have a little removed, that's not your fault "for not paying attention". If anything, you should feel proud you recognize the fact what you're experiencing isn't normal are getting a little unfill. Too often people walk around with bands too tight and end up with slips.

...the fact you realize this, and are getting taken care of, makes you one of the wise ones :)

Ask your surgeon about taking Ibuprofen. My doc said not to take any Nsaids, including aspirin and ibuprofen.

I am currently dealing with a small rotator cuff tear, bursitis and tendinitis in my left shoulder and my band doc and my ortho are in agreement that I should not take any kind of anti-inflammatory because of the risk of band erosion.

Well I went to Dr and he removed all Fluid from my band...he says we will see how i feel on Thursday then fingers crossed put it all back in...

He even told me to stop and get a milk shake on my way home and help my throat feel better......

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
