Hi everyone. Im new to this site and i have had my lapband since 11/5/07. Pre-op weight 217 and now i weigh 176. This has been the hardest journey. I was given a big band so i didnt feel my fills until aug 2008. Now it seems i am feeling worse as the weeks go on. This month has been the worst. Since Thanksgiving i have been throwing up and very nausious. I can't even keep my head up. I take 1 bite of food and i am running to the bathroom to throw up. My body is filling up with some kind of slime that is really discusting. Anyone else deal with this. I dont know i sometimes regret doing this. Now i have been reading about slippage and i am wondering is that what is happening to me now. My body feels hot all over too. Someone Please help me. :cursing::cry_smile:

First off, welcome to LBT.

As for the problems you are having, it sounds to me like you may be too tight now. Have you had your fills done under flouroscopy? My best suggestion is to contact your doctor immediately and advise him/her of your symptoms. Being too tight can lead to a slip, I have experienced this. Fortunately, liquids for a few days and a complete unfill can often correct this.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
