What Does A Slip Feel Like?



Recommended Posts

How common is a slipped band? It seems like a lot of members here have had it happen. For those of you who have had it happen..does it alter your opinion on the band? I'm not banded yet and all this talk of slipping bands it making me slightly nervous. :blink:

It alters my opinion of that stupid bite of apple i took on the way back from the bathroom on the way to bed. Cause now I'm sitting on the couch at 2:30am waiting for food to pass that I never really wanted in the first place, and I will think twice about eating 1/2 asleep again. So, I think you could say I love my band.

My issue is somewhat different. I feel my food/liquids rite above my belly button. I have problems drinking fluids, i can feel them going down but i also it feels like a plugged up drain and I keep burping with some reflux no pain i just feel very full but only at the start of my stomach....i am frustrated can someone tell me what to drink to get rid of this? I have tried hot tea.

The difference between band issues and gallbladder is the side of your abdomin. Left side is band, right side is gallbladder. I dealt with slips for 6 months before I had my band removed, it's different each time and for different people, but I always felt pressure when I ate, and I couldn't feel sated, was always hungry, but also horrible reflux and waking up in the middle of the night coughing because of reflux. Hope this helps.

      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.
