Emergency Surgery to get Rebanded!

Just back from the hospital after emergency surgery! Funny thing is I had absolutely no abdominal pain or heartburn that people say they get when the band Slips. It all started on Easter Sunday when something got stuck and I threw up for hours. Then I couldn't keep liquids down. Got the band completely Unfilled on Wed. Then still sick back to the doctor on Thursday where he sent me to the Emergency room with the suspicion that my Band Slipped. He was correct. 1st thing Thursday morning he did surgery and fixed my slipped Band. I was so scared and it happened so fast that I am just wrapping my mind around it.

Does anyone have a list of what they drink/eat the 1st month out? Happened so fast all I got was clear liquids for 2 days and regular liquids for 4 weeks. Thanks for your help.

Wow! I'm glad you were able to have emergency surgery and that you didn't have any pain.

Did you get another band or was your doctor able to reposition the one you have.

I have a friend whose band slipped. She was rebanded, and had pretty much what you're saying you have, full liquids, which included creamy Soups, yogurt, coffee or tea, if you drink those, sugar free puddings and popcicles, Crystal lite.

Hope this helps. Congratulations on getting rebanded, and good luck. .

Glad to hear you're repaired and doing all right!

You can and should add Protein shakes to your full liquid diet.

I only had to do full liquids for a week, then to mushy, pureed foods the next week, then soft foods for the last two weeks of the month.

Good luck to you!

Gentle hugs
