How do you know if your band slipped



Recommended Posts

I felt really sick yesterday. I could not stop the pain and forced myself to throw up maybe six times in an attempt to feel better. Today, I am having pain on my side. How do I know if my band has slipped. Does anyone know what it feels like? I'm a bit panicky now. It is not a bulimic thing. I ate a small amount of chicken but it just would not go down. Thanks for any advice.

I recently slipped. I was in the worst pain in my entire life, couldn't stand it. I mean I would rather have children again pain. I couldn't even keep Water down. It was horrible. I hope you have not slipped. Is there a chance a recent fill is just too tight?

thanks for the info. I only have a slight nagging pain on my left side. I am sticking to liquids but they go down no problem. Hopefully, i'm ok. I think I'm sticking to fish and vegetarian life style for a bit.

Hey Boo,

Did your band "unslip" after unfilling? If so how long did it take? Had my first fluro ever last week and they said band slipped. They unfilled me and tole ne to get another fluro in a week. No liquid diet. Seems too easy to me.

MY band slipped during my port replacement surgery, 3.5 weeks ago. SO I am still unfilled. A week does seem too simple, they want me to wait 4-6 weeks. Only 4 because they know me and I didn't want to be empty 6 weeks. BUT I am doing ok on it! :tt1:

My diet chick told me you would not be able to hold anything down

and you would vomit alot. She also mentioned a large weight loss per week.

I have been having sharp pain in my lower right side of my stomach while I eat but it goes away after awhile, then comes back occasionally.... not sure if it's something serious or not but it doesn't stop me from eating and I'm not throwing up or anything..anyone have this?

I guess I got "lucky" :crying: . I had another upper GI 8 days after unfill and guess what?? I became unslipped. I am soooooooo relieved. They will start the refill process back up in 5 weeks. What a wake up call. It all came about from becoming to tight and then trying to ignore it hoping the weight would speed up. WHAT A DUMB THING THAT WAS. I learned a lesson and got a second chance. My new motto is "Respect The Band".

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
