Has my band slipped again?



Recommended Posts

Hi. I've had my band for over a year now and about 4 months ago I had my band slip due to travel, stress and constant throwing up in a span of 2 weeks. anyway, that has been taken care of and i haven't had any problems until I travels about 2 weeks ago. I've been throwing up off and on, trying to just eat Soup, but today I've started throwing up bile like i did when my band had moved. Should i call my doctor or go to the emergency room? or see if it improves?

Thanks for your help.

Ladies (and Gents) PLEASE PLEASE do not waste a moment of time posting here if things like this are happening to you, call your doctor or get to the ER straight away!! This is not a good thing, if you are throwing up constantly it is not a good sign!!

1) You could be to tight

2) your band could have slipped

3) you could have the flu and need some anti-Nausea medication

4) or something else is wrong and we just don't know

Please please call your surgeon explain to them what is happening or go to your local ER before you post your health is more important then some ones opinion on what we might think is wrong.

      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.
