How Many Slips?



Recommended Posts

Kuddos y'all. My band slipped two weeks ago & I am having it fixed Thursday I have a realize band and they should give more info on a slipped band.

We're you having symptoms? Was there something in particular that caused it to slip? When you say "fixed" I'm assuming you elected to not have it removed?

Sorry to hear about your troubles Karla

I am having it readjusted the symptoms that I had was not being able to eat or drink a anything. I had a cat scan at the hospital two weeks ago I asked the surgeon & he told me that he did know why it had slipped it just happens with a small % of people i I threw up no matter what I tried Fluid or food. I am so ready to get back on track. I love the band. & thanks for your concern. :). I will keep y'all posted.

I had the band in 2010 and seemed to be going along fine. I stayed in contact with my doc and his support staff. Went in when needed. I thought something was wrong and went in and even asked about slippage, they told me it was fine, not sure how they knew. Then at Thanksgiving I couldn't even keep down Water, I was throwing up everything. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving they finally did an upper GI and said it slipped. I told them to just take it out.

I have gained back almost all of the weight I lost. Total fail.

I'm actually wanting something done, but I'm so scared of any of it again.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
