*SCARED* I have a stretched pouch...



Recommended Posts

Please let me know what your doctor says, it sounds like what happens to me. I get too tight and have reflux, they unfil me and then I am too loose. I have also noticed an issue with liquids, especially if I have eaten within a few hours.. it is quite weird, meanwhile my weight loss is totally stalled...

I think we are in the exact same boat. Before my last unfill, I would eat and not be able to drink even hours later. As soon as I would fall asleep, I would start choking everything up. No matter how early I ate it. I am also at a plateau since this started happening.

I will definitely let you know what he says. I am going to ask him about the 5 day pouch test diet as well.

Hi Thin!

My doctor scheduled me for an upper GI for next Wednesday. He said he will let me know after he looks at the results. He did still proceed with the fill, so I am on liquids for the next couple days anyway, so I decided to try the 5 day pouch test.

Question - Why is it that every time I get a fill and am on stictly liquids do I start dreaming of big greasy cheeseburgers??? :thumbup: (Not that I've had one in over a year, but I still dream of them!! LOL)

I had a very tiny dilation noticed because of an upper gi for acid reflux at night. They removed about 0.25cc's from my band in the hopes it would help. Today was my follow up upper gi and now it has either gotten way worse or I have a slip (the pouch is so big they couldn't tell). My only symptoms were heartburn/reflux. That is still all it is. I got a total unfill for 30 days and we will see where it goes from there. I feel so lost! I was doing so well and just really don't want a setback and REALLY don't want another surgery

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
