I think I've slipped



Recommended Posts

PLEASE HELP! I've noticed over the past few months that acid reflux is a daily occurrence for no apparent reason causing me to have a consistent coughing sensation. I vomit eating foods I've never had issues with in the past. Some soft foods struggle getting down. I feel discomfort in my chest and stomach and just feel yucky. Do any of these symptoms sound like that of a sipped band?

Hi,

The only thing I can say is, call the doctor as soon as you get up in the morning. This should have been done after the first day of not feeling well. That is why they are there. They know the band better than anyone.

Feel better and call!!!

The symptoms you describe can be a slip, but you have to have it verified through imaging. The earlier you do this the better chances you have of doing an unfill and having it self correct. Longer you wait, requires surgical intervention

      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.
