Gall Bladder and slippage!!

[LookingForMe 2]

I am 20 months post surgery, down 115 lbs, and my gall bladder had to be removed. My gall bladder made me so sick that I vomited a lot, even though I was trying to be careful what I ate. At my Friday appointment with the surgeon, surgery was scheduled for Wednesday. That night, I woke up in the middle of the night violently vomiting up pure stomach acid. I think this is when my band slipped, because I could barely eat the rest of the weekend. I had more vomiting on Monday night after trying to eat some Soup. It got worse after that, and all day Tuesday, I couldn't keep anything down except small sips of Water. When I went in for surgery on Wednesday, I requested to speak to the surgeon beforehand and told him I thought the band may have slipped. He was very skeptical at first, and made a few attempts at dry humor. But, after taking an x-ray, he could see that the band was in a different position than it was originally. He came back and told me he was glad I mentioned it. He said he has a lot of patients that think their band has slipped when it hasn't. So, my simple gall bladder surgery turned into also repositioning the band. I have 6 incisions instead of 3 more, for a grand total of 11 scars on my belly now!! Good thing I never planned on wearing a bikini! I also asked him to do an upper endoscopy while I was down to make sure there was no damage to the esophagus from all of the stomach acids, and that turned out ok. All in all, a stressful day, but I'm glad it's over and my band is back in place. Unfortunately, it's totally empty right now. I just hope once I start eating again, I don't gain any weight back! I keep reading stories on here about the band never being right again after a slip. I hope I don't have the same problems. I'm just glad I was so close to goal weight before I started having real issues.
