Hi everyone. Im new, just joined this forum/chat. I got banded 2 and half months ago and lost 25 pounds so car. However, the past 2 days i have felt like i have had no reatrictions. I can eat bread and meat and feel it just slide down. I have had one fill at 3 cc about a month ago. Does anyone thing that this might be band erosion or slippage?

Hi. I just joined too. I was banded in 2010 and never have I not been able to eat anything. meats (steak , porkchops , chicken breast) They have always been hard to swallow, but other than that I could eat bread, Pasta, rice, cake, whatever. Last week however I had a problem and I just posted about it ...but, to answer you...You might want to call the doctor, and you might need another fill. It's not likely that it has slipped, but I would check it out and trust me...you don't want to be able to eat anything. This has kept me from losing. Just in the past few months I have dropped 30 pounds, but I was right back up to my pre-LB weight before that. So...yeah, call the doctor:)

From my experience you need a fill. After I got my surgery and 2 weeks the swelling went down I could eat anything I wanted and it went right down. I need a fill. Many people take several before they hit that sweet spot. some people schedule fills every four weeks until they reach that green zone. Slippage you will have lots of heartburn and indigestion when laying down form my understanding. If one doesn't keep up with those fills they can easily gain back that weight. I agree with shavens you don't want to be able to eat anything.

      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.
