afraid I think my band has slipped
mommomgrandma posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hello everyone i am new to this community and right now i am afraid that i have had slippage of my band. i had my surgery on may 29,2008 i have lost 24 pounds but i had a fill a week ago and since that fill i just did not feel right. i could not drink any thing or eat anything, everything kept coming up. i kept trying and a little started staying down then i experienced for the second time of not being able to hold it down,everything came out. today i was drinking juice and crackers and it came up with somthing very slimy that looked like fat of the intestine. now i feel like i did before i had the surgery, like the water is going straight to my stomach. i can't even feel my port any more. help, i called my doctor and he said to drink liquids only and make an appointment to see him. i am really worried and can not sleep do any one know the signs of slippage. -

today is a great day, i was able to take half a protein shake today and eat more food for lunch and dinner a little. this is weird. sometimes i can and some times i can't . had to change my appoint to a late date however i feel better. thanks for asking and for your help, i was really afraid when i slimmed.wow!!!!! i thought my intestines werecoming out through my mouth. it really taught me to not eat fast,chew well and cut everthing up. the choking feeling is no joke. -

no it was not yellow just slimy and clear, possibly look like the baked chicken i ate three days ago before doctor told me to do liquids. i am retaining fluids but have use of Fluid pills from doctor and now i can feel the port but still feel like there is no restriction. thanks for your time and helping me through this. this is rough when you don't understand what is happening to your body and you get use to your body being one way and all of a sudden there is a change. like when i turn to a certain way it feels like pins in my side. i guess my doctor will have a ear full aye. thanks a million. this website is fantastic. -
