I just have a question for someone out there that can help. If your band slips what are the signs that you could look for. I mean does food not go down anymore do you not feel full or what? I have weird things going on and wanted to just see if someone could tell me what the signs of this was. Thank you.

As I understand it, when your band slips you have severe pain and are unable to eat or drink anything.

If you have any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately. You didn't mention

just what problems you are having so we're unable to give any nonprofessional advice, other than

good luck.

I guess what I think I have going on is that I am getting sick and don't want to believe it. I think I am getting a sinus infection and this is going to be the first one and don't know if that is the cause of it. My stomach hurts but not a bad hurt. I think it is the mucus going down. I can eat and drink just fine. I just have a headache and tummy ache. I just don't know what to take for it. I am new going down this road.

Drinking hot beverages can help break up the mucous.

My band is currently slipped. My only symptoms are reflux that occurs regularly. I'll have it repositioned on December 8th.

What would you take preband for your sinuses? You can probably still take it.

Best wishes! Joan

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
