I'm in hell...band too tight



Recommended Posts

The same thing happened to me when I told my doctor I really needed a fill because I was able to eat anything. I got what I asked her for. I got the fill on Friday. I could not swallow my own saliva. I threw up all day and then on Saturday it got worse because I could not swallow Water. I was miserable. I called my doctor Saturday afternoon for an emergency unfill. He met me at the office and I felt better instantly. I would rather be conservative with my fills. It took me three months before I went back for another fill because the experience was so bad. I just had a fill last month and I am kind of tight but not like the one before. I am very tight in the morning and can eat a little more as the day progresses so it is not too bad.

All of you have really helped me with your comments and stories. I was sitting here debating on whether I could wait until tomorrow or if I needed to go to the ER NOW!! I am EXTREMELY restricted and choking on my own saliva. I have been throwing up slime and mucus for about 6 hours now. It began almost immediately after my fill. I still regret that I didn't go back and have him take some out. Hopefully, he can work me in first thing in the morning. I literally feel like I am going to die if I don't have some of this fill let out! I feel miserable!

Lizzie...if you get time, read some of my posts. This is NOT a good sign. It's a serious matter. Take care of yourself and good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
