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

      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.
