Band Slipped Surgery Schedule 6/15

[yozimm 0]

So, I was banded 7/08 for my 40th bday present to myself. Got pregnant 8/08...miracle, she's beautiful. Started fills in May 2009 after daughter born. Stopped losing weight in November 2009, found out in May 2009 band slipped probably during pregnancy. I had a ton of other bad symptoms which prompted my doctor to do more tests, etc.

MY QUESTION:

How do I prepare for the next surgery, what should I expect, will I lose some weight now, finally? My visit with my surgeon is 6/8, he'll probably answer all these questions, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has gone through this before.

Thanks,

Y:blink:

I'd say the worst of my symptoms are regurgitation. Basically if I'd eat anything say three hours or less prior to going to bed the food would literally come back up. I had some episodes of waking up with whole food pieces on my pillow. The worst part was that the acid would also go down my wind pipes causing me to wake up coughing. Not to mention the sore throat I would wake up with.....soooo glad to be having my surgery next Tuesday. Went to preop appointment today.
