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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
