No restriction all of a sudden...!



Recommended Posts

hey guys,

I had lap band surgery 21st June this year so not that long ago, I have 6cc in at the moment after 2 fills and had quite a high restriction. All of a sudden I feel nothing....! to late to call my surgeons office should I be worried? has this happened to anyone before?

I have looked online and looked a symptoms of a slip but dose not quite fit, I am worried my band has unbuckled or I have sprung a leak somewhere?

please if you have any info let me know, thanks

Just because you are not feeling the restriction you once had doesn't mean your band has slipped. It simply means you have probably lost more weight or inches and maybe in need of another fill. There is nothing to worry about. Just keep watching your portions and keep on losing. Continued success.

I go through periods of what seems like no restriction and then all of a sudden there it is. I was at a banquet with a friend who had by pass just before I had band and we split a banquet meal of chicken breast and mix veggies. I took three bites and said "Oh, damn!" She turned to me and asked, "Band working? I told her yes and she said her surgery was working too and we neither cleaned our plates. Love that surgery!

I have days like that sometimies to where i can only eat a few bites and somedays i feel like i have no restriction which are few and far in between and even on the days i feel i have no restriction i really dont even eat that much i guess im just satisfied. as you loose weight you will need adjustments as the band becomes looser as well everytime i drop about 20-30 pounds i have to have an adjustment because my band is too loose and i also have days to where im think i need an adjustment and wait because the next day or two im at good restriction our bodies play a big part in how our bands feel they vary from one day to the next. good luck!!!

      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
