Hi everyone! I am sorry I haven't been around lately. I feel like I have been away from home. Well I have had a few strange things going on in my body that I don't get maybe some of you have been through it and can help. With in the last few weeks it seems as if my restriction has gotten tighter. I am only at 2cc of a 11cc band but everything get stuck and I end up making it worse by throwing up. I am so fustrated because up to this point I had been fine. I had my last fill almost 1 1/2 months ago. I have been loosing just fine.... What the F--K is going on. My Hubby is starting to worry and now so am I. I have changed to eating mushy foods for now but I really don't want to take another trip to Mx if everything is all right and my body is just adjusting. I feel like I am whinning. :( So I appollogise. I should be happy because the weight loss is increased but I was great at the pound a week I was loosing. Help!

hey rica!

have you been stressed? that greatly affects restriction?

what about the way your eating? maybe you should measure for a week or so to make sure your not eating to much?

are you going on liquids after an 'episode'? you may be swollen and the swelling may not have gone down completely and then you get sick again.

can you see a dr in the us and have an x-ray done on your stomache to check your band to make sure it hasnt slipped?

i would call your dr and see what he thinks!

(((((hugs))))))

Michelle great advice. All things I would have mentioned.

Hey Rica how was the bachelorette party in Vegas? Oh and are you coming to VEgas this weekend?

Hey Rica!

Great to "see" you

Have you called Dr. Rodriguez? I would definately make a phone call. He might have some suggestions for you. Throwing up cannot be good for you or the band.

I went for my second fill today, so I haven't experienced what you are experiencing. I'm now filled to 6.4cc's which is a lot more than you and we have the same band.

Just goes to show that everyone is different and how we react to the band is also very different. But make the phone call, if for nothing else, then to put your mind at ease.

Take care!!

I think shelly j has good advice. I know I was told by Dr. Ortiz that if I PB to do liquids for 24 hours or the same thing will continue to happen every time you eat due too swelling . You need to rest your esophogus. Is what I was told .. I have also heard of other women who have had their fills for a long time and the fill seems to tighten over time. Don't know whats up with that..I too have 2'ccs in my band and I can honestly say I have no desire to have another fill anytime soon. Things are doing just fine ..I have perfect restriction. Maybe try liquids for a day or two to see if it is swelling..

hang in there~
