Hello All, I was wondering...If you eat and feel full but still continue to eat, will that cause slipage of the band?

I caught myself overeating the other day, I felt full but

kept eating cuz it was so gooood. But when I think about it

being able to fit into a size 12 will be much better than anything that I can ever eat! Sorry for rambling on and on, just typing out loud! :thumbup:

Slippages don't happen that easily. Overeating is many times more likely to cause a PB...which I'd just as soon do without. If you seriously overate, I'm surprised it didn't all just come right back up. Consider yourself lucky on this one and try not to do it again....next time might be out in public where a PB would be nothing if not embarrassing!

I don't know for sure, I am pre-banded and new, but from what I heard, it is a lot of puking that can cause slippage. And since over-eating can cause the PBing, they want you to not over-eat. (Besides it's defeating the purpose!)

Weight Watchers gave me the mantra "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" and I have been trying to remember it. :thumbup:

Thanks to the both of you! I dont normally over eat any more. I had treated my daughter and I to some chinease and it just was the best thing I ever ate after being on liquids and mushies for so long!

I started to have slippage, my doctor explained to me that "slippage" is caused when you loose weight very fast, and he'll have to go back in a restitch it in place, it can also be caused by vomiting too much. This happened to me, I didn't realize it for 11 weeks, I just thought i was eating too much, or eating to fast, or not chewing enough, but when i couldn't hold Water down I knew i had to call. I had an upper GI and nothing would pass through the band, so they completely deflated my band and I was back on liquids for 10 days, after that I had another upper GI and everything seems good, so they refilled me, and everything has been great since then.

So, was your slippage caused by vomiting too much or was your vomiting a result of the slippage? Glad you are OK now!!

I hope i dont have slippage, I got banded feb 13th & cant lose weight I never feel full & I have 7cc in my band. I vomited 7 times the night I got surgery I hope that didnt cause damage. My doctor had me on liquid diet for 5 days then mushies I hope it wasnt too soon. Im scared cuz no weight loss since Feb.

A couple of observances. (1) You don't say if you have a 10cc or a 14cc band -- and 7cc in a 14cc band might only just be approaching your sweet spot. (2) You obviously didn't get all 7ccs in one fill, so you've been to your doctor's office a few times. What have they said about your poor weight loss? I personally think you need to make an appointment to go in and (maybe) get another fill, but more importantly TALK seriously about what might or might not be going on. That's all part of the after care.

Doctor told me it was from loosing weight very fast and from vomiting too much. He also told me that when the band "slips" it doesn't really slip, that its basically your real stomach protruding over the band. It was all really confusing, but I'm all fixed now! :frown:

      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?
