Lap band Slip



Recommended Posts

Just wondering who in these rooms have experienced a slip? I went to the doctor last wee and they told me I have a slip. I have to go back in just a little over a week to see what they want to do, maybe a revisional surgery. I really do not want to have this as an option but I am willing to if I have to. You see, I was one of those who experienced some pain in between my shoulder baldes when I ate. The conclusion was it is referred pain from a nerve touching something (diaphram or stomach) dcotor is not really sure. So when the pain became intolerable I would vomit because I noticed when I got rid of the food out of the pouch the pain would go with it. Well needless to say some damage as occured. Now I have to pay the price. I'm just hoping I didn't let it go on for too long and I do not have to have another sureger. Please keep me in your thoughts. I am now down to 179 from 237 that's the good news.

Often time you can fix a slip in a month or so with a complete unfill. That is what you should do first then go back in for small fills.

      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.
