HELP!! How do I know if my band has slipped?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been banded since 10-06-08. I started having trouble keeping food down the last few days and was wondering if my band has slipped. I was having stomach trouble like a stomach ache so I thought maybe it was a virus or something. Any info would help.

I'm having something similar. I'm able to keep food down but have pain in my stomach and esp. near my port site. It's hard to lie on my side and feels like it's pulling a lot. I am meeting with my surgeon this week so I am praying for positive answers. I wish I had a better answer for you.

I too was banded on 12/5/08. I am feeling funny . No pain, but last sat. i had trouble keeping food down .It made me alittle scarred that my band had slipp, but when i eat very small bites. i have no problems.

      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?
