Band Slippage?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

This morning I had my upper GI to check on band placement. This was the first upper GI since my surgery. When I asked the radiologist how it looked he said, "weel, I do see it but I've seen it in a different spot on other people." But he also said that he was suggesting that anything is wrong and that the band might be where the surgeon wants it to be. So now I'm worried, very worried. I'm traveling by air next week and I know that some people have said they have had complications when flying. The radiologist said that my surgeon would have the results today and I did call her office but she's in surgery today so I most likely will not be able to speak to her until tomorrow. So now my phobic history is taking over and I'm thinking the worst...like band slippage or something worse than that. Does anoune out there know anything about band slippage or why my band might be positioned differently? Please help. Thanks.

If you band had slipped your doctor would have called you. She is able to put it off for another day, most likly becuase there is nothing wrong. Try not to worry.

You can look in the complications forum, but I think if your band had slipped you'd be having some pretty severe symptoms....like not even being able to get Water down. If you aren't having any major problems, you're probably just fine!
