slipped band....

Does anyone know if you can cause your band to slip by just overeating once? What does it cause to do that? I ate some bread and feel so bloated!

Hi AZ Chick I'm also from AZ "Gilbert" from what I understand, if your band slips you would not even be able to drink Water.

But what you are describing it sound like over endulging. and when that happen food just cant go down cause the opening to your lower stomach is only so big and it my just not be able to pass Temporally. I have heard of this but have not yet experianced it. Some people decribe it to being similar to a heart attach.:thumbup:

I have pretty much eliminated almost all carbs from my diet except for potatoes.. And about a month ago my daughter was in the hospital and my mom and I went to McDonalds and I eat part of a cheese burger and it just didn't set right with me.. I have tried some other breads and it was the same thing.

IF your not feeling better after a while or at least by tomorrow defanatly call the doctor. Even If your not sure call the doc. That is why they get paid the big bucks. My office has a whole team of techs. and dieticians that are there willing to answer any questions you may have..

Good luck and let us know how you do....Hang in there.

does anyone know if sneezing can cause band slippage.I have been sneezing all day and i'm only 2 weeks post-op

You are okay. Typically bands slip when they are too tight and you PB a lot. You can't hold down food. The bloating is very normal given the fact that you ate bread. Bread can be hard to digest. Good luck.

I have been very lucky and have little pain anywhere,just a little tenderness.I have not been nausated at all.I'm on soft foods now and doing fine I have no problem eating the cup of food.I do feel full but it does not last for 4 hours.I guess i will need to be filled in a few weeks.My dr. says then I should only be able to hold about 2ozs or a 1/4 cup. has this been anyothers experience.
