Is this slippage?



Recommended Posts

I was banded almost exactly a year ago - I am currently 8.5cc's in my 10cc band.

Since my most recent fill four days ago, I've been really sick. I woke up one night severely choking on my stomach contents. I STUPIDLY ate a bit a bread to soak up the gastric juices...and of course it got stuck and I was up all night barfing. Or PBing....I think.

Ever since, I wake up in the morning and have the worst nausea of my life. I have NEVER truly vomited (only PBing) until these past few days. I wretched only twice...and threw up actual FOOD...even though I hadn't eaten since 7-9pm the previous day. My husband says I'm coughing at night (though I did that a little before this fill). I have taken pepcid, tums, pepto, and it all has helped a little. But I feel a pinching sort of pain right now.

Are these characteristics of a slippage, overfill, or stomach flu?

I unfortunately can't tell you what exactly has happened but you need to go to your surgeon's office immediately and let him know. Your stomach is probably incredibly swollen at this point from all the retching and blockage and he might want to unfill you. Also all the more reason to go if it feels like slippage.
