slippage questions



Recommended Posts

I found that my band had slipped yesterday. I had most of my Fluid removed. My band slipped Monday so it was taken care of quickly.

Today I feel 99% better but have occasional pain in my stomach area. I suspect that it is my stomach moving back into position.

The tech that did my fill seemed to think that my stomach would return to normal. It was already starting to move back while I was under fluro. How often is this not the case?

Finally how do you stay good with almost no restriction?

thanks!

Sorry to hear your band slipped but glad to hear it is going back in place. Monday I called my doctors office and said I was on my way and I had to be seen. I didn't care if I had to wait all day to see my doctor. I knew something was wrong because I couldn't even keep a sip of Water down. I had been getting sick for about five days and it just got worse. To make a long story short did a xray and it showed my band slipped. My doctor took all of my Fluid out of my band and have to go back in a week to see if it went back in place. I'm praying it does cause I paid out of pocket and don't have insurance. So do u know if yours went back in place? My doctor told me that 90% of people this happens to fixes it self. I can only hope.....

Irini1 you might want to check with your doctor about eating. I am on a luqid diet for a couple of weeks. I would hate for it to get worse for you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
