Band Slip?



Recommended Posts

Can your band slip before your first fill?I am 6 weeks post op and was digging out the driveway and was careful not to lift to much snow at a time. And i am super PARANOID about a slip. I feel fine just curious if i would know if i messed up.unsure.gif

I doubt you did any damage. We had a big snowstorm one week post my lap band and I had the "brilliant" idea that I would go back to work even though I knew my supervisor would be ok with me taking an extra day off due to the snow and I dug myself out. I did not do any damage, I had a barium swallow a few weeks later because my doc checks band placement at that time and there was no problem.

You would know if your band slipped because suddenly you can't keep anything, even Water, down. At least, that's what my doc. said when I asked him. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
