Stuck feeling all of a sudden



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill one week ago. On occasion, I've had food get stuck but today I had the golfball feeling three times today. Does it take a week after a fill before the band starts to work and maybe this is why I'm getting that feeling??

Many people report that their fills 'kick in' a week or so afterward. It just reaches out and grabs you sometimes. Since you've have an 'episode,' you need to limit your intake to liquids, then mushies for a day or so. And it helps me if those liquids are warm, not cold.....loosens the band and eases the pouch.

As for 'avoiding bread and crackers'.....most bandsters can never eat bread very successfully - it wads up, swells and sticks. And eliminating them permanetly will help with the weight loss anyhow.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
