Band Slippage

Dori · February 19, 2007

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1>Hello all,

I was banded on 02/02/07 and beside the initial discomfort I have not had any problems. However, to be completely honest I cheat quite a bit, actually 3-4 days after surgery I had grilled chicken, chewed it really well and have not have a problem My question is has anyone out there had band slippage and if so, what indications did you have that the band slipped, i.e. pain, coughing, vomiting? I have been honest with my doctor regarding my cheating ways, he scolded me but ensured me that my band probably has not slipped because I have no pain and am able to eat just about anything. I also have not had a fill yet, so I don't have much restriction at all. Just wondering what it feels like to have a slipped band

Hiya Dori!

Good question! Just what I was wondering as well. I was only recently banded and have had some pain when I have eaten thicker/chunkier things e.g. some soft fruits and some mashed potato.

Am really interested to know about symptoms of band slippage too.

Cheers,

jude :hungry:

I was told my stomach was stretched . I got an unfill last month in TJ

Went back yesterday and xray shows I am still stretched.. I was put on mushiies last month..So the Dr. said I would need to have the band repositioned.. DONT KNOW HOW MUCH THAT COST.. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA.

ANYWAY DR. PUT IN 1.8 cc and put me on liquids FOR 3 DAYS AND SAID wathch what I eat. meanwhile I have gained close to 8 pds in the 6 wks

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH REPOSITIONING THE BAND COSTS

I WAS A SELF PAY WITH THE ORG SURGERY
