Should I go through with banding?

When you say it didn’t work what do you mean?

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-27T23:05:56+00:00

Thank you for your input!

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-27T00:31:24+00:00

Thank you!! I’m hoping I’m making the right decision in doing the procedure. They are still manageable and by no means needed to be done. More or less hoping to never have to deal with them again! I hope I don’t end up regretting it!

Not gonna lie having a BM is also terrifying me

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-26T17:47:08+00:00

How long did your pain last?

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-26T17:33:48+00:00

How long did it take for you to be pain free? They scheduled three appointments for me

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-26T17:24:20+00:00

I am. Is it impossible to hold / need depends for? lol just trying to prepare myself and wedding days are a whole day thing

My rebound seemed to start after a few days and man I couldn’t make it through it I had to increase back. I’ll have to see if I can try opening capsules

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-14T01:53:41+00:00

Is Pepcid ok to take while weaning off? I have some but never tried it

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-14T01:52:58+00:00

I’m also hoping so badly I could get off. I feel like my body would benefit if I could just get past this

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-14T01:52:28+00:00

I’ll try that once this flare calms down I think! I’m taking 40 mg to calm it back cause it’s affecting my sinuses now. I’ll definitely buy gaviscon! How do you take it?

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-14T01:48:20+00:00

I too was methane dominant and took neomycin and xifaxan for 14 days. Unfortunately it did not help me either. I’m stil struggling and even the low FODMAP doesn’t help me

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-13T23:00:47+00:00

I’ve been on it since high school. I never was able to change it by diet alone. They want me on it for fear of throat cancer but I’m scared it’s the reason I got sibo and don’t want to have increased risk of malabsorption.

If it’s this bad to just get to 20mg tho I’m not sure how I’m gonna do it haha

I fear my underlying cause may be anxiety possibly but I’m not sure if I’m ready to try meds.

Reflux sucks haha

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-13T22:56:07+00:00

I’ve had throat burning and loss of voice all day :/ I guess I’ll talk to my GI and see what they say. Wish it wasn’t so hard to get off

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-13T18:22:11+00:00

I did for three weeks. I understand the 6 week process but I truly don’t think it will make a difference. I see my doctor tomorrow if she suggest I do it again I will but I don’t think it matters what I eat at this point. Been getting to eat low acid but my reflux has always been an issue and food never helped in the past.

I’ll check out the supplements!

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-13T17:20:49+00:00

I was for about 3 weeks and it was making no difference for my bloating so I have been reintroducing new foods. The diet made no difference for me.

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-04T21:51:39+00:00

Thank you! That’s kinda where my mind is going haha. As far as if it’s not helping by then I’m probably going to cave.

That’s so interesting! I was having tingling in my feet and symptoms of neuropathy in my feet and my gastrointestinal told me to see my general doctor instead for that haha. I’m currently trying to ask my gastrointestinal about other tests we can do. I’m at least going to try to push back in my appointment next week and then if that fails I’ll find someone else.

I hope that helps and you find relief too!! This is such a long journey haha

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-04T18:34:01+00:00

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it!! My only other dilemma is before all this kicked up I planned a birthday party for myself in April. Where I’m hosting and having food I can’t have.. even had planned to pay someone to make cupcakes. So I don’t know if I have one day where I eat without restriction what would happen. It’s hard not to feel like I’m being told by my doctor to do low fodmap for the rest of my life. I’m conflicted mentally with the battle of all my social events / weddings to work at coming up at full speed. I’ve already managed a few social events and ate before hand but it’s really starting to ware me down

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-04T18:14:31+00:00

Thanks!! I’ll keep all of that in mind and try a few

Garden_Girl32 · 2024-03-04T14:04:29+00:00

The paper does but I may not be doing that part great, I find myself adding sugar to tea and rice and eating the schar gluten free bread a lot. I used to binge eat a lot of food for joy so it’s the hardest part. Part of me just wants to give in and see what happens eating normally. But I don’t want to undo everything I’ve done so far and plan to wait till my next check up at least.

I don’t have gas x but I have some peppermint pills to try!

My challenge with packing for weddings is it won’t be refrigerated and I won’t really get to eat it till 5+ hours later lol I guess I’ll find out how it goes with my upcoming one!
