Slippage

I possibly have band slippage I am going to have an upper GI within a week or so. I have odd feelings on and off but still the doctor wasn't too concerned. It's liveable. If it isn't slippage then an unfill will be done. However, if I have to have surgery then I am questioning whether or not I should have him take it out and leave it out. I am concerned that if it did slip then how often does it happen again. I have lost weight and I am happy with the band so it is hard to explain exactly why I feel that it should be taken out and left out. I need some advice and if anyone knows of someone that had the band removed because of slippage and left out. I need some advice. I have been thinking about this for the last 2 months when I got my fill and it was too tight.

I have often thought about what I would do if I had to have my band removed. It's hard to think about. I am happy with my band and it's performance. The few issues I have had are of my own doing, either over eating, not chewing enough or simply eating something I know won't go down causing it to get stuck! I know for a fact thatIwould gain all of my weight back if it was removed. Now with the band I can say to myself " you have had enough, anymore and you will hurt the band and yourself", and I stop eating. Without the band I will continue to eat what ever it is saying to myself..."I'll be good tomorrow"

Hopefully I won't ever have to face that decision, but I am pretty sure I would want to have it put back in. I hope you find peace with your band!!

Hugs,

Hey I am sorry to hear your trouble, can you tell me what lead them to believe that your band was slipped? I have been feeling something is wrong too but cant put a finger on it and have the same questions you have about what if it has to come out. Afraid to live with it and afraid to live without it...

I'm sorry to hear about the problem. I had an upper GI Monday, and they said I had a slip. The Dr isn't sure what is going to happen. I have to go for another Upper GI next week. Then he'll have an idea. I'm not sure my insurance will pay for it. I can't afford to miss more work either.

I'm sorry to see that you are having problems. I was wondering... What are the symptoms? How do you feel that makes you think that you "might" have slippage? I'm asking because I seem to BP'ing constantly and at times I have minor but annoying pain. I wish you luck at your appntmnt.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
