So for almost 2 weeks now I have been having trouble keeping things down, after everything I try to eat it comes back up...and I start hiccuping right away...and they are loud and annoying. So I think an unfill is needed right? Also ladies does your bra ever make you feel like your choking when food is stuck?

I am having that right now, 2weeks ago I had a 1/2cc added and been sliming every since, the only time my food stays down is when I eat with a baby spoon and that's usually a creamed Soup, and no to the bra question

But I have lost 6 pounds since! I will wait a few more days cause I have swelling after a fill and sometimes it takes a while for things to feel right

as long as you are able to drink fluids and stay hydrated give your band a chance. first make sure you are taking small enough bites, and chew well and wait to see if it goes through, you will know fairly quickly. continue eating this way. usually about half way through your meal and you are eating properly you will notice that the food is going through just fine and you don't have sliming. sometimes it take more than a few weeks for everything to settle down. good luck.

When I was too tight, I did indeed undo my bra just not to feel so confined. Not sure if it helped really, but at least psychologically I felt like I was being proactive.

I have been having the same thing minus the bra problem. I am even experiencing it with my Protein shakes in the morning and even pudding, etc. Thicker things that normally wouldn't budge the slime ball to come it does. I just made an appointment to get some Fluid taken out. As much as I love seeing the number going down the scale I hate that I can barely eat anything and always find myself with a tight chest and loud hiccups.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
