If my band slipped, would i be feeling better without help?



Recommended Posts

Last week in general i had a hard time holding food down, but i assumed it had to do with my time of the month..

on friday i was vomiting violently,wretching and gagging. it hurt to breathe, nothing wanted to stay down, i felt a painful preesure in my lowe chest. i was gassy and lightheaded, and then it suddently went away and i mean like from one minute to the next it was like roter rooter had cleared the pipe, and i have felt fine ever since.

no more vomiting or pain or anything and aside from the fact that my weight loss has stalled this month i feel lovely. i am holding down my food just fine, not even sliming.

now my daughter had had a 12 hour stomach virus the day before and its possible i caught it from her.

but the symptoms i had had sounded like classic slippage and i will be honest that the month before i may have pushed my band too hard, trying to eat things i shouldn't have eaten.

my dr. isn't in today and i don't want to page him if its not an emergency.

if this was a slippage would the symptoms dissipate?

I have had this happen and it wasnt a slip... something must have got stuck then it finally went through I bet. My friend had a slip and she was in lots of pain and it didnt go away

My concern was the the violent vomiting may have caused a slip. i doubt it was just something stuck because if something was stuck, no way it didn't come out with all that puking and wretching. i had been throwing up quite a bit this passed month but now its stopped.

i have also been having that "rising bubbles" sensation when i eat soft foods like a banana, which can mean the band is tight, but i'm only filled to 4 so it shouldn't be tight. im scared

      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.
