How do you know if you hurt your band?

I had band with plication plus hernia repair last friday. I am a little worried because i was told to drink 3/4 cups of Soup 6 times a day for the first two weeks. I have drank more than that and yesterday i felt great so i did alot of laundry and some house cleaning. my first follow up appt is monday and im worried that my band may have slipped. did any of u eat /drink more than u were supposed to at first? i dont know if i am having so much soreness because i had all three procedures at one time or if something is actually wrong. what do yall think?

Unfortunately there's no way you can know without your surgeon checking the band placement.

You're probably just sore but stick to your post op diet and ask your surgeon to be safe.

its major surgery so you are bound to be sore (they cut into your tummy etc)

i also had the hernia repair and for a month, i was def sore/tummy tender..but it does get better.....like miss said, only your dr can advise if a band is slipped or eroded or went to disney land.....always refer to him if you are truly concerned...

just relax, sip and sip and then sip some more.....as you heal, you will be able to drink more as the swelling is going down...congrats on your surgery

I felt so good after my band repair and plication that I re-arranged my living room furniture by myself less than a week after surgery! And although I didn't suffer any consequences, I definitely would not recommend that to anyone!! I felt rather stupid after the fact!

Generally speaking, if there's a problem with your band, your body will find a way of letting you know -- just listen to it!

Thanks yall! For some reason when I typed that question i wasn't logged in under my profile. But I am feeling alot better & have been sipping, sipping, and sipping some more. It really scared me when I though i might have hurt something & made me realize how much I sacrificed for this band and that no amount of liquid is worth setting myself back. I really appreciate the advice yall gave me. I'm back at work taking it extra slow today.
