Cant keep food in!! after fill 3 mos. ago!!



Recommended Posts

I had a fill on 1/15 and it was fine. Recently I can't keep food in and am always slimming. Like lots of slime!!! And then up comes the food!! I am even having a hard time keeping liquids in. I recently really kicked my exercise program into high gear and been really losing inches and pounds. But now I'm losing energy too. I thinks its from not eating enough. I know some people's band gets looser as they lose inches and pounds and need more saline. But has anyone heard of it getting tighter with losing inches and weight? I swear it all started when I kicked into high gear at they gym. Help!!

Sounds like you have some swelling and irritation. Could possibly be a slip. Go to liquids only & call you doc in the morning. If you can't keep any liquid down at all go to the ER as you can dehydrate.

I had my last fill march 08 and was fine had no problems until December never thought the band was to tight until today after losing all energy unable to keep anything down and pcp threatning to put me in hospital. Went to a new lap band doctor and said I was too tight took out 5cc and did barium swallow he said everything was fine to let my stomach relax a few weeks before a fill. I hope this helps you

yes, you need to see your doctor and have an esophagram done so they can see what's going on in there. Don't let it stay like this. You can damage your esophagus.

I would definitely call the doctor. I would also go to all liquids for a day or two while you wait to see him. If you are PBing alot, you have probably go everything irritated. The liquid diet should help to calm things down. If all checks out well at the doc, I would do liquids for a couple of days and then mushies for a couple of more.

I am really sensitive to PBing and have had to do the same thing.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
