You are right. Why someone can't ask a question and answer comments without drama is beyond me. But there is one person on here who no matter what the post is.... She starts crap with someone.

Had barium swallow (yum yum yum)

Everything is fine. He thinks its coffee and eggs my stomach can't tolerate.

I'm not even going to mention our discussion on "fill volume of band"

I hate to admit it, but I have noticed this too in regards to the one person. smh :mellow:

He does not recommend gas x for the lap band surgery...i did just what the ER doctor said and all the pain went away

Yes I am having major regrets of being banded. I am out 3 weeks. Have been on soft foods for a week and now am having terrible pain issues. After I eat it feels like a pipe going thru my chest. Called dr, did liquids 24 hours, progress back to soft and it started again. I am not living the rest of my life on liquids. This may come out faster than it went in.

I'd like to say it gets easier, but it's surgery and the band is a pain in the ass. You may get used to it and you may not. If you want it out then get it out. I'm not going to sugar coat it for you. You gotta do what's right for you.

Looks like none so far but thank you for the compliment. :-)

Runt glad your doing better with your band. Don't give up the beginning is a really big adjustment and food intolerance that you may never have had before can be part of it.

For me it was/is Broccoli. I love it, but it no longer loves me. Hurts my belly something awful cramps and bloating and such. So I only eat sparingly if it's mixed in and I don't want to seem too rude picking it out.

The gas and bloating I think is what's kicking my butt! They think that is what they chest/back/shoulder pain is.... Well I'm done with that crap..... It can just go away!

I hear ya! Try heating pad and some Decaf tea. There is something in the tea that really helps move that gas :)

Hot tea...let cool till warm Steer clear of dairy if you can help it that contributes to the bloating and gas. Sometimes early band patients have issues with lactose. I did.

Taking a probiotic helped me, you can also try lactase if you find that you have an issue with dairy.

Hope your feeling better fast!

      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.
