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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
