Are you thinking you have one? I seen on here a while back where a lady had a leak and she got to bring her tubing home and her and her husband put red food coloring and Water in the tube and you could see several little puncture holes where it got poked during fills and she had to have her's replaced. It showed how easy it would be for someone not knowing what they're doing and not using fluro how easy it would be to ruin someone's band. I'm sure your like me when your self pay and pay close to 10 grand for your band and then all the money for fills you want to make dang sure whomever is doing your fills knows what they're doing.

And just to address this.... I don't think my doc didn't know what he was doing. I think it was purely and simply an ACCIDENT. My band wasn't ruined, I just had my port and tubing replaced. No biggie in the grand scheme of things.

Just wanted to clarify....

Peace.

      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.

        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!
