Slipped or not?



Recommended Posts

What kind of signs do I look for if I consider that there might be a slippage.

I just hear a lot of different stories like there is a lady who had a flu and her band clipped because she was coughing...

I have a flu... I am couching... I do not want to go into an emergency surgery...

What are some signs?

Reflux.....I don't know how much you would have to cough to cause it to slip, but throwing up will cause slippage. I wish I had known that reflux was not just being too tight, but also slippage....they do an easy swallow test to tell if you have slippage....you also don't have to have surgery immideatly, they will take Fluid out first. Check with you Dr. Good luck.......

I too have the flu. I am not going to have any unfill. My surgeon said if you have to cough alot due to flu or something go to Dr and get a prescription cough med. They gave me Hycodan and one teaspoon every 4 - 6 hours. I really works.

My band slipped a month ago - had to in for a revision surgery. Signs of slippage for me were MAJOR reflux and then and inability to even keep down a sip of Water after a few days of non-stop vomiting. Hate to put it this way, but if it's a slip, you'll kinda *know*...

Good luck and hope all is well!!!

      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.
