Bad Stick Band Swollen



Recommended Posts

Hello people. So I had a bad stick on some Pasta last night. Threw up like 5 times. No big deal as it happens rarely and I can deal with it. My band is very irritated and swollen today from this. Is there any remedy you have? I am swollowing ice chips hoping this will sooth the problem. Anyone else have this happen?

Just stick with liquids for a day or 2 to help things calm down. Hope you're feeling better soon!

My doctor said an antihistamine can sometimes help with that (Benadryl). Also hot tea...

Do you eat Pasta a lot? It is one of my doctor's no foods along with rice and popcorn.< /p>

my two cents . . . my doctor says to avoid COLD foods and drinks when this happens; makes it worse; try WARM things like tea or Soup ~ good luck !

My doctor says warm fluids, after a fill. No cold fluids at all for a day. The stomach needs to take it easy after a fill, that's why your put on Clear Liquids for 2 days then a full diet, so your stomach can heal

My doctor very clearly advises liquids only the first 24 hours after a fill. You may want to ask your doc and consider that going forward if s/he advises you to do so.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
