I Panic Easily Help Me



Recommended Posts

Hi y'all

The past couple days nothing has been staying down. Everything gets stuck. I can keep Water and coffee down but, even slim fast goes down rough. I'm in a state of panic thinking my band slipped. I had a fill 2 weeks ago and everything was ok up until yesterday. It's that time of the month (sorry guys) could that have something to do w/ it? I'm very nervous and need some one to tell me some thing. How would I know if my band did slip? And what should I do? I'm gonna just try musshies for the next few days and call my doc on tuesday seeing as how mon a holiday. Any advice would be helpful.

I'm newly banded so I don't have much experience still, but I have read people talking about an adjustment not "kicking in" until a week or two later. Perhaps it's too much restriction? I hope everything is okay, let us know what you find out from your doctor - goodluck with everything!

I'm new too. But I feel for ya! Since you can keep down Water and coffee, sounds like everything is A O K. My doctor said that if your band slips you can't keep anything down at all. You may have got something stuck and it has to work its way through. At any rate, call you doctor immediately.

I panic easily too. And it's usually not as bad as I think!

I'm not banded yet, so check with your doc on this one. Anyway, last week I met with my doctor and had 101 questions. Well the one that sticks out the most is the one about my band feeling tight during that time of month for us ladies. I even told my husband about it just in case i would forget and freak out. You mentioned it is that time of the month so maybe its that. Hope this helps.

Yes it could be because of Time of Month that you are feeling more restricted! ...I've read in many books and many posts where people say that due to swelling during menstrual cycle you will have more restriction. Hopefully you will feel better in a few days. Keep us posted.

It is not unusual for a fill to "set in" at the two week mark. You sound like you need a slight unfill. I was surprised to find out that a fill can have a delayed reaction like this...you may get a fill and everything seems fine and then you wake up about two weeks later and everything is stuck. No abnormal, but you do need to get in to see the doc for a sligh unfill probably.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
