Please help me. I was banded on March 3rd and afraid I may have a slippage. I gagged today by accident and felt something in my stomache move? Do you think it's possible that my band may have slipped? I'm worried. Please help

Hi, Chloe,

I would give your surgeon a call, and let him/her know what happened, and what you've experienced. They have been through all kinds of scenarios, and will know how to handle this for you. If they are concerned, perhaps they will send you for an x-ray to check your band.

A couple of days ago, I was seated in a chair and bent over while twisting at the waist. I thought I had felt my band move, and my anxiety level went through the roof. When I spoke to my surgeon, he said not to worry, that the band was firmly sutured in place- it would take more than that to dislodge it.

Take heart, hon, you're probably just fine, but do make that call, if only to put your mind at rest.

Good luck!

Christine

From what I've read here, it's pretty painful when slippage happens.

I would still hear it from your doctor, but I bet you're all right.

Also, for awhile you are gonna feel the LB

until it scars into place. It's an odd feeling.

      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.
