Good Morning All:

I am a long time bander. June 1st of this year will be my six year mark of having my band. I have had absolutely no problems. I have lost 110 lbs I have gone from 276 lbs to 166 lbs and from a size 28 to a size 12 - 14 even some 10's. I am so happy with my results. My concern this morning is band slippage. I became ill last Sunday night and had some vomiting throughout the day on Monday and Monday night. I went to the doctor or Tuesday and was told it was just a virus. They did x-rays and the band seemed to be in place, but it was just a regular x-ray, no contrast and was done by my regular pcp. I am feeling much better now but seem to be having trouble eating and drinking. I can eat soft foods and drink, but very little. I feel very very tight, like I did a couple years ago when I had a fill that was too tight. I am wondering if maybe my stomach is just irritated from being sick and this will resolve on its own or has my band slipped? I am thinking of going Monday and having my fill removed to see if this will help. I am very worried about this. It is easter weekend and I know I can't do anything until Monday. If anyone has any ideas please share. I pray there is no problems. Thanks for any advise you may have!

I've never been sick like that, but from what I've read if it just seems tight and you can get liquids down it is probably just irritated from the vomiting. I would just do liquids for the weekend and see how that goes, you should probably still go in and just make sure everything is ok.

Hopefully it is just irritated!

      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.
