Hi sounds like your band is too tight, I have had those same problems when my band was to tight. You need to get some fluid taken out, I stayed tight for to long and now my band has slipped. Good Luck Magii

Hi my symptoms of slippage were reflux during the day sometimes, but every night would wake up caughing bringing up bits of food or would wake up with liquid coming out of my nose. I was too tight for to long and I think this is what caused the sliip and stretched pouch, I kept telling my Doc I was to tight but he would only take a bit out at a time. Make sure you get an unfill to the point that you have no reflux at all. Good Luck. Magii

Hi Thanks for the replies. I have to have another barium swallow at the end of October to see if my slip has fixed its self and go back to see my doctor in early November. The feeling I had when my band slipped was vomiting and bad reflux during the night I also had heartburn during the day but the reflux at night was really bad I would wake up with liquid coming out of my nose, and that was even with having my last drink about 7 or 8pm. Hope all of you with slips are doing well keep us informed as to how you are going. Magii

Hi You need to get your doctor to do tests to see what is going on as this is not normal, I have had bad reflux too, and found out on friday my band has slipped. You need to find out the cause of this asap for you health. Magii

CONGRATULATIONS your baby is beautiful:thumbup:

Hi I have just found out on Friday I have a slipped band, my band has been totally unfilled, so my question is should I be on liquids or what kinds of foods should I be eating, my doc said I could go on a liquid diet but did not seem fussed weather I did or not, so I wanted to know what other people have done when they had a slipped band. thanks Magii

I'm staying on plan today because I'm Sick of losing and gaining the same 5 pounds

Hi congrats on having the surgery, yes it will be hard to stick to liquids for 6 weeks, and yes you might find yourself getting hungry if you do just drink more. No your craving for sweets won't go away, but they may be less often than before. If you work with the band it will work, but you have to choose the right foods and excercise often. So even though at times it will be hard it will be worth the hard work to get your health back.

My son has a Wii, that sounds like good fun and a different way to excercise, I will have to try it.

I take lots of different sized pills every day, my multivitam is like a horse pill and have never had a problem.

I have been banded for 6 months now and I have not stoped having the Depo needle.

my weight was the same today, I haven't cheated yet, I am determined to get some weight off before my holiday in November. I didn't have a pre-op diet either luckily as I think I would have cheated too.

Hi Mary....I'm on day 2 today and must say I didn't have Breakfast today, a bit early for soup, I had some at 11am. I am not going to worry about my Protein this week and thought if I do it next week I might add some meat to the soup, don't know if I will be able to stick to the diet next week as I go for a fill on tuesday, I might make the soup a blend it to liquid, don't worry about the banana it wont hurt.
