What Are The Symptoms If.....



Recommended Posts

Your band has slipped?? If your small pouch has stretched out?? And if you have had the I-band (Plication) and your stomach might have issues from the sewing of the stomach, maybe streched out from over eating at the beginning of your healing process and learning how to eat.

Thanks..

If your band has slipped in a minor way and you've developed a stretched pouch above it - you might find you can eat more and faster. This would trigger you to think I need a fill but the fill wouldnt really have much effect. Slipped bands more commonly cause you to not be able to hold down solid food at all, and sometimes not even liquids. A major slip wont go unnoticed, a very minor one might - but then a very minor one may also be fixable simply by unfilling the band and allowing it to resettle.

however everyone is different, and there's a huge range of symptoms which can indicate problems, and you may experience all or none of them, its impossible to say. The best bet is if you have a weird symptom, see your doctor! The other thing is a completely normal, functional band can feel very strange at times. For example, I now get pain and heartburn when I'm physically hungry rather than stomach rumbling/empty feelings.

dont know anything about the iband sorry.

      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.
