Band Slippage



Recommended Posts

SueSue,

I'm starting to think I may know. My band seems like it is getting slowly tighter. I have a feeling that my fill doctor is going to make me have exrays next time I go in to see him. When I was in getting an unfill befor thanksgiving the doctor said that if you pib or get sick really hard that can make the band slip. I did that when I tried to eat a chile dog. I only got three bites down befor all of it came back up.

What was I thinking.

From what I can research, band slippage symptoms are nausea and vomiting.

This last week I went to the doctor due to excessive heartburn and not being able to eat enough. I was losing really fast (at least 7 lbs a week). I know I never thought I would complain about losing weight but when you buy a pair of jeans and they fit and the next week they are falling off of you there is an issue. So, I went and they x-rayed me and found out I had a slippage. I had a cold back in August and due to excessive coughing I now have a slippage and have had one for a while. I am now on a liquid diet for 7 days and a mushy diet for the next 7 days to see if the diet fixes it, which they are confident it will. So, hope this helps and that you start to feel better.

Dieta:)

      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.
