Has anyone had their band to slip off? And if so how did you know it had slipped? What were some of the signs/symptoms? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't get discouraged you'll get there. My thing is I'm horrible with needles and surgery and I've had tons of those lol and I told myself I did not go through this surgery and pain not to have the results I want and need. My meal plan never changes much and it's quiet dreadful lol but I stick to it since it seems to work and I walk/run from 5 to 10 miles everyday. I sometimes try to make excuses for not doing the walks and then I'm like nope no matter what I'm getting it done today and I do. For breakfast I have an avocado slightly hollowed out and I bake an egg inside or I have a boiled egg, for lunch I have a protein bar 30mg and dinner is always fish and or pork because for me I find it hard to eat chicken and I'm not a big beef eater. Good luck you are going to get there and remember progress is progress no matter how big or small and we all get off track from time to time we're human it happens so don't beat yourself up about it.

Please let us know what the doctor says. I'm about 6 weeks out with getting my band and I also have left side stomach pain that comes and goes.and the pain is not bad most of the time but a few times it has became pretty strong. Just wandering what it could be. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I am just a few days over 4 weeks post op lapband. My band has been completely empty until yesterday and although it has been empty I still managed to loose 47 pounds all together starting at my pre op diet. My doctor put 2cc in my band and I still can eat the way I did before and I'm hungry every few hours so my question is....is this normal? I'm scared maybe my band isn't right since I have absolutely no restriction. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I was miserable for the first 4 days!!!! But after that it gets better. Hang in there you will do great. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

If you don't mind me asking what kind ofpromblems did you have with your band? I'm a newly banded patient. I find myself scared of every little thing. I have been watching some on youtube of the non successful patients.i find myself wanting to learn more about those patients and less about the successful ones.

Me to and I haven't even had a fill yet. I'm having pain now in my right side. I drank some of the pain medication I was prescribed and now I'm nauseous ughhh! Hope this passes soon Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I got a great report I have lost 11.5 pounds since surgery Which was 2 weeks ago. He said he was super proud of me. Since my journey has started I have lost a total of 40 pounds! And I will not get my first fill until December 1st and my band is completely empty he said! He told me I have definitely earned my Thanksgiving dinner lol. But I promised to still stick to it and I will. The first 4 days after surgery I'm not going to lie I thought I would die and I kept saying what have I done to myself I just made a huge mistake but now I could not be any happier that I went through with it and stuck to what they taught me. Now I know this is not just a dream anymore it is actually a reality and I could not be any happier! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

At the doctors for the first time since my surgery. Hope all goes well and I did not slip this thing the first four days when I could not quit dry heaving! Good vibes are greatly appreciated. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm 4 days post-op how long until I can start mushy foods? Since I feel better today I am also starving! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I wasn't given any instructions as when I could start introducing mushy foods and my first appt is not until Nov.10th guess I will give them a call tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Ok has anyone else experienced really bad back pain after getting banded? If so how long does it last? I feel like I'm dieing here. Ughhhh! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Thank you sweet Jesus for answered prayers! The first 3 days have been pure hell to be bluntly honest. Spent day after surgery In Er and the next 2 days dry heaving my guts out and fighting a fever but today,today is a good day! I have walked around the block already this morning and took my dogs out twice. I'm getting a lot more liquids down today alot quicker and no nausea what so ever. Today I am happy Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Still fighting nausea so bad! Every single time I try to sit,stand or get one drop of fluids on my stomach I'm fighting not to vomit. I have had a rough start with this. If I can't get myself better I'm going to ask to be admitted to the hospital and if my stomach does not adjust to where I can drink this band is coming out! MISERABLE! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much for all the advice. It does give me some glimmer of hope to know I'm not the only one to go through this and with time it will hopefully get better. I spent the next day after surgery In Er as well I was dry heaving so bad I thought I ripped my guts out that was 2 days ago. Yesterday I fit a low grade fever all day and continued to drink Pedia lite to stay hydrated. Today no fever diluted the Pedia lite with Gatorade and all that seems to be going alot better. Just the nausea is sooooo bad if I could get that under control maybe I would be ok but as of now I'm super miserable and just praying for better days!

I was banded this morning I'm pretty sure he did not fill mine yet with anything but my hunger has disappeared. I have had 2 sugar free Popsicles all day. Is there anything else you all can recommend that I can eat or drink? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Yes the Pedia lite is clear. Which is all I have had except for maybe 3 sips of Protein shake because my hunger was back with a vengeance. He allowed me to have the slim fast even though I can't get any where with it lol. I gave up on it hours ago and have been strictly Pedia lite the rest of the time. Even a few sips are keeping me hydrated but I can't shake this nausea and the meds he gave me for is doing nothing and if anything makes it worse where my stomach is empty. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

My nausea is so bad and I can't get any fluids down quick enough to stay hydrated. I spent the day after surgery In the ER. It's not looking good today either. I have resorted to drinking Pedia lite for baby's just to try to stay hydrated enough to avoid the Er again today ughhh. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Yesterday I was one day post-op and spent 6 hours in the Er due to extreme dehydration and nausea. I was dry heaving so bad I thought I had literally ripped my guts out! The doctor got me feeling loads better after IV fluids and nausea meds but today I'm back to feeling sick again. Although I am not dry heaving or throwing up I am super sick to my stomach again!! I have resorted now to drinking Pedia lite just to even stay hydrated enough to avoid the Er again today. Yesterday I was honestly questioning myself if I had made the right decision in getting this band. I know everyone says it will pass it gets easier and better. WHEN?!? WHEN DOES IT GET BETTER? I feel horrible. Not to mention everytime I hurt or feel nausea it sends my body into shock and I get a low grade fever. Someone please please help what can I do?

Graham cracker is delicious! I have taken to these for the fact they taste so much better than slim fast fewer calories and way more protein! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
