Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Yes, I know the answer is to call the dr, but in the interim until tomorrow, need help



Recommended Posts

Been banded since 12/14- to date I have no fills but occasionally get stuck just by having the band. My dr confirms that this happens, just not often. In the last 3 days I have gotten stuck twice (most recent time being a few minutes ago). Both times on the last slime there were small (very, very small) speckles of blood. Has anyone else had this? I know I need to call the dr in the am, but was just curious. Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated.

I know you're not going to want to hear this but I think you should go to the doctor now. This seems like a bit of an emergency to me. And switch to liquids to be safe as well.

Not sure...maybe do liquids until you see your surgeon. That is what my surgeons office told me to do.

The dr isn't in and I am home with a 3 yr old so there is no way I can do anything until tomorrow. Just seems weird and I will call in the am

How about drinking some warm tea? might help a little bit.

Darnit. For sure switch to fluids (no solids to eat until you see the doctor). If you are in pain...or if the bleeding worsens...just take your daughter and get to an ER. They can call your doctor in if need be. Help is there if you need it. Sorry I can't help more!

Thanks I honestly feel fine and it was the equivalent of three drops of blood so I am not overly panicked. The dr will call me in the am and hopefully it is nothing just wanted to see if it happened to anyone else

Oh good deal. If you feel okay that's what matters. Hopefully just a little irritation on your esophogus from stomach acid or being stuck. Hope all goes well tomorrow with the doctor and he'll likely dismiss it as not too big a deal if you're okay by then.

Have a great night and a good rest.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
