When I was eating today, it felt like the food was stuck in my esophagus.

That's okay, right? Because isn't the esophagus the new stomach after the band? Isn't it the pouch?

Hee hee, I was reading some of this thread and thought, holy heck what is going on. I went back to the start of the thread and realised you crazy critters are just mucking about! Yey! I love it, nutty and a little chewy too! ;)

Yes it is, along with your larynx and the back (deep) portion of your nose. Actually when food starts oozing from your nose , it's a pretty good sign you're full. Oh, and remember to wait at least 30 minutes after your meal before you have liquids!

It is especially fun when the food oozing from your sinus is lettuce. It's makes it fun, itchy too.

Being banded brings a whole new light to sneezing. :P

I don't have a cat or a fish. I have a dog. She loves the lap band because she gets all the foods that I try to eat and end up in her dish. It's because my new stomach, the esophagus, gets full really fast on 1/3 of a cup of food.< /p>

Denise 1/3 of a cup is waaaay to much. It should be more like 1/8 to 1/4 max!

Are we talking the fish or the band?

I eat about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food and do great, everyone is different. BUT if we are talking the fish...lol..yeah too much food!

Okay, I couldn't take it ANYMORE, so here's the question that was asked:

Unfill or ride it out?

Hey there guys, just had another fill today and he decided to be a little agressive as I still havent lost any weight after 9 months.

Put another 1ml in making total of 6.5ml, got home and cant even drink Water. Tried to drink warm tea and had really bad pains like something was stuck then it came back up again.

He said to come back if I needed adjustment (he is only in town today and tomorrow) but I know from experience that my last fill (which was not this tight) wore off after a couple of weeks.

Do you think I should go back or will it settle down as the hours go on?

Thanks

--------------

Here's my response. Was I too rude? Who cares if I was, I just couldn't take it!

Hmmmm, you got a 1ml fill (he was being "a little aggressive")

it's never felt this tight before,

it took a while for it to loosen up the last time when it felt a bit tight,

you can't drink water,

you can't even keep down warm tea,

and you are asking if you need an unfill???????

Yep, I think so.

      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
