Band tightness



Recommended Posts

I had a fill a few weeks ago. 1 whole cc which brings me to 7.2 cc's in my 10cc band. I hadn't had a whole cc in a while. I normally get .5 or some other fraction and not having a lot of restriction so the np decided to give me a full cc which I thought would be fine. my band felt tight for a few days then it was fine, then TOM rolled around so it was tight again. Now TOM is over and I can still feel my band. It doesn't hurt, but when I move in certain ways I can feel it. I have no problem eating or drinking. I have not had any stuck episodes I'm just concerned that I can still feel my band. Is this normal, or should I have a few tenths taken out? I have had my band for a year and a half and have never felt this before, but this is also the first time I have felt real restriction. I had the fill on 01/15, me next appt is on 03/03.

I'd wait it out, myself. You can eat and drink so it doesn't sound like it is worth going back before your next consult in a month.

I was leaning toward that too. It was just making me nervous! Thanks for the reply.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
