Is it a lap-band slip, erosion, or just too loose



Recommended Posts

So I have been banded since Feb 2008. I have only once had too much Fluid and completely unfilled to help the swelling. Then I was filled again. This past January and February I got bronchicitis and coughed for two months. They took some fluid out becuase I felt too tight.

A few months ago I got more put back and felt like I was at the sweet spot. But did not lose weight I even gained. I got sick one night from eating bread and threw up. Since then I have had NO resctriciton at all. I can eat whatever I want. It is like I lost all my fluid. So I went to the doctor. He said all looked well and gave me a fill. So I waited my three days before eating real food. Again no resctriction, that was a week ago. I have made another appointment to see the doctor again. I just don't feel right.

Today I started to feel pain under my left rib cage and pain in my back. I am wondering if I slipped but slipped upwards? Any one have comments or similiar story.

I just feel like something happenend. How can you go from having rescriction to none at all.

Pain in your ribs, coughing sounds like pneumonia ! Have An x ray done, they can see the band placement and if u have pneumonia (walking). U r worrying me, get checked!

      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!!

      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.
