For those of you who had pain with a slip what did it feel like ?

I had a bit of a bug :sick over the weekend day and threw up a few times. Yesterday and today my stomach has felt sore as though someone were sitting on my stomach. I have been able to eat some very plain mushy food like yougurt and tuna salad and Water. That has stayed down very well. :hungry:I tend to worry a lot and just wanted to know if I was being paranoid.

thanks

your probably okay - sounds like your sore from the stomach bug, but if your nervous and to be cautious you should call your doc. I had something similar. I had salmanella poisoning and was really sick. and since that time, my stomach never felt the same. But it was a pain I ONLY had whne I ate or drank something. It was like a pain with pressure as the food or liquid went down. I wasnt throwing up, I just had that pressure with pain as things went down. But after a while I felt that it wasnt even worth it to eat and drink - thats when I saw my doctor. I am sure yours is fine as slips are not too common. Hope this was hepful and good luck to you. I am sure that alot of people have had stomach viruses and their bands didnt slip. But again - if your nevous call the doctor - better to be safe than sorry. Good luck p jope you feel better.

I had afill in August and at that time before I left the office it hurt to swallow Water but it went down. I was throwing up a lot, but then it got to the point the I was throwing up every time I ate (after about 3 weeks) and then when I would eat teh pain in my chest was so bad I could not stand it and would throw up. I recieved the fill inIL and within 2 weeks moved to FL. Part of my problem was moving and not being able to get into see a Dr right away. When I did see the Dr in FL he did a fluro and watch as I swallowed "stuff". When I drand the stuff it fluro refected my band was slipping. He removed all the fill "5.8" in a VG band and then I asked him if there was a chance the band would go back on it own. He took me back into the fluro room and showed me the the band is back in place.

So see if your pain goes away in a few days if not I would have it checked out. In the mean time try going back on fliuds for a few days and gradually go back to solids again. This may help as this is also a part of my healing process.

Good Luck!

Skinnymom ~ So what did the doc say ir do when you went to him? I am having the same thing where when I eat or drink something I have pain right in the center of my chest. I am not throwing up or anything its just a pain.

When I slipped my band I had a lot of pain in my chest when I ate, in my right side all the time, pain in my port, acid reflux, excessive burping, hiccups & gurgling. I was hungry but could not eat. My slip happened over a period of time (I believe) . Like first I had one symptom which I ignored, then another symptom then another etc... If you have pain it's not OK. I'm not saying you slipped, but I am saying something is not right and if you ignore what your body is telling you like I did, you could end up in the same boat as me. I would suggest to go on liquids for a few days and gradually work up to food. If things don't feel right after a few days on liquid, go see your Doc for a barium swallow. Always safer to be too cautious than to throw caution to the wind. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi, I was just wondering...did you have to have surgery to get the band back in place or did it go back by itself? I am having a problem with my band. Thanks! Julie

My band went back into place without surgery. It was a 50/50 chance. I got lucky.
