Possible slip or erosion.......Prayers!



Recommended Posts

I had a horrid overfill........docs mistake, but I had 2cc in my band and wanted a .2cc fill. He gave me a 2cc fill. I was actually able to drink Water but the time it took to get home I was spitting foam. THe next day I was unable to keep my spit down and spitting up blood. He unfilled me to 2ccs again, but I can barely do liquids now 5 weeks later,,until dinnerr. dinner is fine. Doc I saw today says I probably have a slip, am waiting for xx-rays.... Prayers and good thoughts welcome!

Have you had a total unfill? I just went through the same thing and was unfilled for three weeks to heal. The blood is from irritation. My doctor compared it to irritated gums and how they bleed. I feel for you! You must be awfully dehydrated and anemic.

My prayers are with you. I know how anxious you can get waiting to find out if your band has slipped. When I had the barium swallow Tuesday I thought I was going to crawl out of my skin I was so nervous. Everything turned out fine and it just made me want to baby it even more.

Maybe you just need to have everything removed and let it rest. I can't believe after you were spitting up blood that they didn't remove all of the saline.

      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.
