So I was banded in Dec, have had two fills, the last one on Feb 11. I was able to still eat everything, in tiny portions of course. I flew to San Diego on feb 19, got sick on the 21st, threw up 3 times and it was like foamy... strange. On the morning of the 22nd, I felt really good restriction. As the day went on I got super sick. Flew home that night feeling AWFUL, like super nauseous! (and I'm not prego!) Anyways, I've had the flu since then, and I have had no restriction at all. I am not eating a lot, because I am not used to it anymore. But I'm worried something happened. I have had an ache under my left boob all day. I called my dr, and have an apt for a fill or a check NEXT thursday... I dont know if it just so happens I got really sick AND lost my restriction on the same day... or if my throwing up made it slip?? I felt that stuck feeling once since that Sunday morning, but nothing else. I'm so afraid I messed it up :(

Anyone that had a slip have any comments???

Is your port on the left side? Maybe you retched the skin when throwing up.

Remain calm and tell yourself your band is fine. Severe stress will only make it worse for you. Try to get rehydrated. To me it doen't sound like a slip, but I know you are worried.

      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.
