Prolapse...any advise or stories please!



Recommended Posts

I had an upper GI done yesterday because I had thrown up quite forcefully a few weeks ago and haven't felt the same ever since. I had a little pain when I would first drink in the morning and food was coming back up hours after I would eat. I also was having reflux at night. I found out today that I had a small prolapse and now I'm on stage 3 again for 6 weeks then going for another Upper GI and if it hasn't improved then my band needs to be removed. Has anyone had this happen or know about it? Did the liquid diet work? I know everyone is different but I'm really nervous about this prolapse. I'm worried about the damage it may be causing right now and I'm also worried about having to go through another surgery for it to be removed, I was told the removal can be more dangerous than the original surgery because if the scar tissue that is around the band. I would be grateful for any advise on this, Thanks.

Oh no, I'm so very sorry. I've vomited a couple times since surgery and every time I'm terrified of exactly this happening.

Did your doctor completely unfill your band? I've read numerous stories of the band being unfilled and the slip correcting itself.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Mis! Yes he did unfill my band. I was just trying to edit that post to put that in but I'm not so good with that stuff lol. I really hope that this will work. I'm going to be one grumpy hungry girl for 6 weeks!

      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.
