Help don't know what to do

My band slipped and they removed my fill about three weeks ago. Sometimes when I eat I get extremely gassy by the band area and the port becomes sore. Sometimes I am fine. It is mostly when I eat dry meats and some vegetables. Does anyone else have this problem? Yesterday was tough the discomfort start ed at 8 last night it is 5am in the morning and I am still uncomfortable. It has never happened this long. I am afraid to eat. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Hi, I only know about the slipped band because it happened to my daughter, we both went in for a fill, she had not been in 1 year and when she drank the barium it just stayed in her chest, it never passed through the band into the stomach, within 6 days she was operated on and luckily they were able to re-position her band, she also had a hiatal hernia. She experienced very very bad acid reflux and lost a ton of weight which is good and bad, the first year she lost 163lbs, but now I wonder if it was because the band slipped. Stay strong, at least your band can be repaired without surgery- and I do remember it was very hard for her to eat after it slipped, it may be related to the hernia.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
