Slipped Band And Dilated Esophagus



Recommended Posts

I was just had a gastrosopcy. The diagnosis was slipped band and dilated esophagus. My Bariatric Doctor left a note for my saying to follow up with him in his office for a complete unfill. Has anyone else had this diagnosis?

Yes, I had to be completely unfilled due to a slippage last year, I remained unfilled for two months and gained about five lbs. The slippage repaired itself; however. Since then I'm constantly experiencing tightness after fills and having to be unfilled two weeks out of getting my feel. I'm actually in that way right now and will be calling my surgeons office in the morning. Keep in touch with your surgeon.

How did you know something was wrong? Couldn't keep anything down? Pain?

Both, I wasn't able to even keep down Water and the pain was horrible. Immediately after being unfilled I was fine an my band repositioned itself and after two months of being opened I got my 1st fill. I'm@ 5.5ccs now but I'm calling my surgeon in the morning because I'm tight again and unable to keep anything down not even liquids. I thought it was reflux and tried acid reducers but they've been coming back up as well. Reconsidering this band and preparing for another option. Too painful and embarrassing always having to leave the table or the room to go puke.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
