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

      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.
