Missed Slippage?



Recommended Posts

Is it possible that a MD would miss a band slippage on a barrium swallow? Acid reflux was seen on my barium swallow but my MD didnt seemed to concerned. I was changed from taking nexium once a day to twice a day and I am still having bad reflux. I admit that when I have issues I tend to go for liquid foods ( ie: ice cream) and even today I had issues with ice cream. I have a constant burn right where my band is. So irritated and upset about this. Any suggestions?

You said an MD, is this MD also a bariatric surgeon who performs Lap-Band surgery? If not, then yes, there's a good chance he'd miss a minor slip if there was one. If he wasn't a bariatric surgeon, then I would definitely get into one for a check.

If your band slipped you would be puking your guts out. You're probably too tight go get an unfill you will feel better

I have a constant burn right where my band is.

I haven't had anything done to my band recently, but I've noticed this as well. It's not constant, but I do notice it from time to time. Feels like heartburn, only lower down than where you'd think heartburn would be. I'm thinking of going to get my band unfilled to see if there's anything left in it.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
