My band hurts...HELP



Recommended Posts

OK Guys...I know I have been kinda absent for alittle while, but you are all in my heart(band area) every day!!!

So...here goes....I need some help

I think I might have done something, I don't know what, but something to my band...might be good though

From Thanksgiving to Christmas is always trying, food and parties, I know I have drunk alittle too much wine and munched alittle too much...but as of today no gain actually down a pound from last friday, so I thought I probably needed a fill after the holidays since I can eat more then I thought I should. Well here is my new situation after hristmas Day. Christmas Eve I talked with my hubby about it, and we really can't afford a fill right now(most expensive place in town!!!!) but I was saying I just didn't feel like it was working as well, and I was kinda depressed about it. Well...Christmas morning I woke up and had alittle coffee, and felt like I didn't need to eat, three bites of eggs and 2 bits of home-made traditional Christmas Sausage(treat for my family) and I felt almost uncomfortable and almost stuck( and I had chewed well)...Then I didn't want anything to eat, not even Cookies...Dinner, PRIME RIB, I had 3-4 bites of the meat and 3 bites of potatoe and green bean cassarole and I felt like I did at Breakfast, I DIDN'T WANT TO EAT ANYTHING ALL THE REST OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yea, and if I gulp at all while I drink, I feel the sticky feeling....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON..............?????????????????????????????............HELP, IS SOMETHING WRONG, OR DID THE BAND JUST START WORKING AGAIN??????

I can bet you that in a matter of days you may lose your restriction again. Keep us posted.

I know right before I start my period I have much more restriction and things that I had been eating w/o a problem become difficult. I would try some Soup and see how you feel after a day or two.

      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.
