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.

      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.
