If my band slipped, would i be feeling better without help?



Recommended Posts

Last week in general i had a hard time holding food down, but i assumed it had to do with my time of the month..

on friday i was vomiting violently,wretching and gagging. it hurt to breathe, nothing wanted to stay down, i felt a painful preesure in my lowe chest. i was gassy and lightheaded, and then it suddently went away and i mean like from one minute to the next it was like roter rooter had cleared the pipe, and i have felt fine ever since.

no more vomiting or pain or anything and aside from the fact that my weight loss has stalled this month i feel lovely. i am holding down my food just fine, not even sliming.

now my daughter had had a 12 hour stomach virus the day before and its possible i caught it from her.

but the symptoms i had had sounded like classic slippage and i will be honest that the month before i may have pushed my band too hard, trying to eat things i shouldn't have eaten.

my dr. isn't in today and i don't want to page him if its not an emergency.

if this was a slippage would the symptoms dissipate?

I have had this happen and it wasnt a slip... something must have got stuck then it finally went through I bet. My friend had a slip and she was in lots of pain and it didnt go away

My concern was the the violent vomiting may have caused a slip. i doubt it was just something stuck because if something was stuck, no way it didn't come out with all that puking and wretching. i had been throwing up quite a bit this passed month but now its stopped.

i have also been having that "rising bubbles" sensation when i eat soft foods like a banana, which can mean the band is tight, but i'm only filled to 4 so it shouldn't be tight. im scared

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
