I just have a question for someone out there that can help. If your band slips what are the signs that you could look for. I mean does food not go down anymore do you not feel full or what? I have weird things going on and wanted to just see if someone could tell me what the signs of this was. Thank you.

As I understand it, when your band slips you have severe pain and are unable to eat or drink anything.

If you have any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately. You didn't mention

just what problems you are having so we're unable to give any nonprofessional advice, other than

good luck.

I guess what I think I have going on is that I am getting sick and don't want to believe it. I think I am getting a sinus infection and this is going to be the first one and don't know if that is the cause of it. My stomach hurts but not a bad hurt. I think it is the mucus going down. I can eat and drink just fine. I just have a headache and tummy ache. I just don't know what to take for it. I am new going down this road.

Drinking hot beverages can help break up the mucous.

My band is currently slipped. My only symptoms are reflux that occurs regularly. I'll have it repositioned on December 8th.

What would you take preband for your sinuses? You can probably still take it.

Best wishes! Joan

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
