Does this ever get better?



Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I was banded in Sept 07, and to date I've lost 30 lbs. Not as much as I'd hoped, but still I'm happy with it! I've gone through a divorce and the holidays in the same time frame and haven't gained weight so that is something to celebrate! My problem is that I puke a lot... a lot. Some days it's worse than others and I'm getting sick of it. My last solution is to just chew up my food and then spit it in a napkin before swallowing. Gross, but at least I get to taste it. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or what will help??? Maybe it's the wrong food? Maybe I'm not chewing good enough? too fast?

Thanks for your reply to come,

GAyleepoo

I'm new to this, but based on other posts I've read on here, it sounds like you may be too tight. Have you had many fills? Maybe you need an un-fill.

Sorry to hear about the divorce, etc.

gayleepoo Hi going through same kind of issues, not sure what's going on.Unitl I totally got unfilled I couldn't even eat a salad like I used to and at night when I get up to go to the restromm I would grab a drink of Water

and water wasn't even going down. I see my DR again next week. A bit concerned I could not eat chicken salad

homemade with a bit of mayo. Something seems odd just don't know what . I'm thinking to ask him to just fill me like 1.5 or something. But he also made remark about my body rejecting the band (weird) I have ask about this on the band waiting to hear the replys.Let me know what happens with you. GOOD LUCK DEAR ! I think there is hope for us Sandra

      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.
