Has anyone experienced thier band slip? If so what caused it and what did you have to do afterward? More surgery? I'm so terrified of this as I don't have any more money left for another trip to the operating table...

What kind of symptoms do you have that makes you think that your band has slipped? My band had a minor slip a few months ago. My dr put way too much Fluid in on a fill, and i took a big swig of Water. My pouch became inflammed. He drained some of the Fluid out but the following two days i kept getting mid back pains. So I called him back and he emptied my band for a month. Now i am back to being filled and losing more weight. :)

I am not sure of symptoms, but my surgeon says that because of my hiatial hernia repair there is a greater chance of band slippage due to the altertion, but it is not a certain thing, so just praying that does not happen.

I am not going to sit around and worry about it, I just like to take everything day by day.

Betty, just try to relax...I kinda felt that way yesterday, I took my temp and it said 98.3 so I started to freak, but after replacing the battery and taking temps of all three people in the house, including myself, finding out we all had a temp around 98 I was so much more relaxed.

My surgeon tells us to call at any hour, even if in the middle of the night. Of course, I wouldn't want to disturb for some unfoundedreason, but if you re really concerned you should write all your questions out nd call your surgeon's office and get them nswered, even if to just make yourself feel better, b/c stress is never good!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
