My Secret - Anyone Nudge an upper pouch cleaning before bed?
It's not easy being a MOM... If it was, dad's would do it!
Nobody notices what I do..... Until i don't do it!!!
Hi Viva! Food has never gotten stuck in my pouch (I did get a jawbreaker pill stuck - talk about dry heaving. I almost had an ambulance called ;-). My Lap Band did not work straight away. right out I had a flipped port and then a cracked port with punctured hosing. Then my out- of-town doc abandoned all of his patients. Me during my first fill while I was deathly obstructed for 8 days. A witch doctor took my fill out - it was an extremely traumatic saline removal. Anyways after lots of trouble I found a wonderful doc and by that time I think I was terrified of becoming obstructed again. So I had lots of fills and unfills. My band just did not work and I just did not know what to expect. I have always been a lover of veggies and so I continued eating my spinach post op and then with a fill that stuck. I didn't know that it did not agree with me as small amounts clung (sorry if I said stuck - although it may have stuck and blocked the stoma) to my upper stomach. Food is not in my pouch at night now as I've learned to modify my food, and when I eat. I don't have reflux neither. when I bru**** is sort of a thicker saliva that come up. Best, Leila
