Interesting sensation.. slipping?...flutters?

[KarenH 0]

When I first rise from a sitting position, I get this weird feeling like my stomach is slipping or there's a flutter or inner contraction. Is this normal? I was banded 3 days ago. No pain. Every aspect of recovery seems to be going great. Is this just me getting used to having a band? Has everyone else experienced this? Thanks! Karen

Damn, what did my doctor call these??? they are some kind of esophogial spasm. He said they were normal the first few months and not to worry. I had the same thing. They eventually went away after I healed up completely.

Thanks Aubrie. I wondered if it could be normal. I also have this feeling of being full all the time. No fill yet, I am in a 10 cc band. Should I be grateful? I can keep my 2 to 4 oz down at each meal just fine. I just get this periods of feeling discomfort. They pass very quickly.

Can I ask how you did the weight loss ticker? I don't seem to be able to figure it out! Thanks Karen

KarenH,

You can start your ticker by going to tickerfactory.com. It's easy... once you are done logging in your info on ticker factory,you need to go to the edit your signature part on LAP BAND TALK and copy and paste your ticker from ticker factory on as your signature.

click on your existing ticker from any post. the ticker screen comes up and you need to provide your password and then edit/update weight info. then you just hit next or exit out. It's kinda funny as it doesn't give you any confirmation. But you will notice the ticker changes on all of your previous posts. Hope this helps.
