Hello, over the last week I've come to believe my band has slipped, and after one night in particular of really intense discomfort, I called up the helpline and was told I would need to book an appointment to have an x-ray. I've paid £150 for this x-ray (I was banded with The Hospital Group). My appointment is this evening and I've been off solids for about a week, because I've been unable to keep them down & attempting to has been the main cause of my discomfort. I wasn't told whether or not to only have liquids prior to the x-ray, and I'm not sure about whether or not I can have anything to drink before the x-ray (I have had one x-ray in the past when I first got my band and I seem to recall being told not to drink anything for an hour before the x-ray?) I've been given no information about that this time.
Just wondered if anyone with a slipped band who had an x-ray could tell me what happened after? I realise there's a chance it hasn't slipped, but I know my body, and the band, and that one night in particular where I was in pain and it remained, and how I've been feeling since, with a lot of nausea in spite of not eating, plus pain under my right rib-cage area, and down the middle of my chest - all of which I've never had before - has me feeling like there's something big wrong. Have never felt like this with my band before, even having been over-filled at one point.
Quite a scary time atm, I'm no longer overweight and was working well with my band, I have had instances of vomiting with it, more-so leading up to this week where it's been terrible trying to eat even mushy foods.
(Very sorry if I've posted in the wrong area mods?)
