I am up at 2:30 with HORRIBLE pains under my ribcage and had to take 2 tums due to coughing up acid.... Since banding on 2-7-11 I have never had acid ref or heartburn. I ate over a cup for dinner around 4 this afternoon and didnt chew very well rushing (my husband is having severe med probs and i was running from doc to doc for him) and have been awake due to pain that has been unbearable since eating. Does it sound like my band has slipped? I am terrified!

Please help with any slippage info you have

Thank you

No you probably have something stuck. You said you were rushing and didn't chew properley , so there is probably a large piece of food lodged in your stoma. Eating or drinking at this point may aggravate it but you don't want to become dehydrated. Try taking small sips to see if you can drink, if you can't sucking on crushed ice may help - it usually helps me. Are you sure it is acid you are coughing up or is it excess saliva - the body's normal reaction when something is stuck is to produce excess saliva to try to slide it through.

I doubt vey much that your band has slipped.

See how you are feeling in the morning and let us know. If you can't get liquids down then you need to call your Dr.

Don't panic i am sure you will be fine.

I am newly banded but have read lots and lots of post on slippage and all of them say you experience horrible nausea and vomiting! Good Luck

      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!
