Terrified, has my band slipped? Can I tell?



Recommended Posts

(I posted this in introductions but I'm not sure if this is a better place to have it)

Hey all, I'm really new to this forum but I'm in need of some feedback. It may be long winded so bear with me.

I had my surgery back in Debruary of last year, i was 315 then i went down to 230. Along the way though, mostly since say 245 and below I've noticed some things. I've also since gained back 20 pounds up to 250 so I've had a fill. My second one ever. Prior to this fill I felt like I had very very little restriction from my band. I've also had some problems. While eating sometimes I felt like food would get stuck, and it would be uncomfortable. Occasionally if it was really bad I forced myself to throw up, not like a full on throw up since I've never known how to purge, just some of what might be stuck. I've also had times where I've over eaten I think but it wasn't me pushing past feeling "full". I've only eaten till i was super full a couple of times and it is almost always when I've gone out to eat and people keep putting food in front of me.

So I just had my fill and I'm feeling optimistic I'll lose that 30 pounds and get down to 230 again and be ready for another fill....but what if my band has slipped? How do I know? I know I don't have reflux or any of the symptoms of the painful one but I've read people talking about how if it slips the other way you get a big stomach pouch even while the band is restricted. Is that why I have had a high appetite but can still get food stuck on occasion? I'm confused, terrified, and just plain freaking out. I was to feel positive but a slip means problems right, i need ot have it unfilled and filled again?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
