  1. Band Slippage?

    CAPT RICK posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I had my surgery 11/5 and had some sinus congestion afterward, which caused some coughing episodes. I am a little concerned about band slippage. It seems to be doing well but I wondered if you can tell when one has slipped. Is there increased pain, or more restriction? I have my first Doc. appointment on the 20th seems like they would insure that the band is where it is suppose to be before then, or am I just worrying for nothing. I really like this forum and have gotten some good information, Thanks to All.:rolleyes2:

  2. can not burp

    CAPT RICK posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Had surgery 11/5 by Dr. Heiker in Texarkana, doing fairly well, but do feel like I need to burp. The bubble in my lower stomach is extremely uncomfortable. Also is there any other way to take blood pressure and diabetic pills besides crushing them?
