Symptoms of Band Slipping



Recommended Posts

Thanks so much for the feedback Ladies. I absolutely love Lapbandtalk. I can always come here for resources and knowledgeable people. I am going to start on my Quest to find a doctor here. I really feel the need to see one just to be sure everything is okay. I notice that I only really PB when I eat too fast.

what does PB mean? I newly banded so I guess I'm not familiar.... Also you could try my Dr.'s here in Savannah I understand it's a bit of a comute (I think 2 hrs) but If you're really concerned... I know my Doc. is amazing and so is his partners and staff and if you called them and told them you're worries they will find out what is wrong for sure also there is someone there to answer your questions 24hrs a day so you could call them and tell them your concerns and maybe it's something they know off hand and won't even have to be seen for it OR they could possibly give you a number of a good place to call in Atlanta to handle your concerns so you won't have to drive out of town at all

my Doctor is Dr. Oliver Whipple (he's got an amazing rating on LBT.com you can look him up) and his office number is 912-350-3438 ... remember there is someone there on call 24hrs a day

I found out in January I had a bad slip and that it needed to be removed or fixed I had zero symptoms only thing I noticed was I was getting hungry more often and was able to eat a lot more then I could before. So about 3 weeks ago I had it removed and plan on getting the sleeve next month. If I was you I get Your primary care doctor to get a upper gi done to see if you had a slip. That's how I found out. Maybe they can fax copies of the report to your old surgeon in the other state.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
