What Are The Symptoms If.....



Recommended Posts

Your band has slipped?? If your small pouch has stretched out?? And if you have had the I-band (Plication) and your stomach might have issues from the sewing of the stomach, maybe streched out from over eating at the beginning of your healing process and learning how to eat.

Thanks..

If your band has slipped in a minor way and you've developed a stretched pouch above it - you might find you can eat more and faster. This would trigger you to think I need a fill but the fill wouldnt really have much effect. Slipped bands more commonly cause you to not be able to hold down solid food at all, and sometimes not even liquids. A major slip wont go unnoticed, a very minor one might - but then a very minor one may also be fixable simply by unfilling the band and allowing it to resettle.

however everyone is different, and there's a huge range of symptoms which can indicate problems, and you may experience all or none of them, its impossible to say. The best bet is if you have a weird symptom, see your doctor! The other thing is a completely normal, functional band can feel very strange at times. For example, I now get pain and heartburn when I'm physically hungry rather than stomach rumbling/empty feelings.

dont know anything about the iband sorry.

      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.

        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!
