slippage

What does a slip fills like? I hear people saying their band moved or the pouch was gone and had to have another surgery. I am curios to know what it fills like. I was banded on 11/26/12 and to date I don't fill like I have any restrictions. I hope my band hasn't moved.

u shouldn't feel anything you are in the healing stage it will take a few fills to get it where u need it. don't worry there is nothing to slip at this point. just rest and heal and a learn how to eat again good luck

Most likely you will not feel any significant restriction from your band until you have had at least a couple of fills...and you are definitely still in the healing stage. I did have some degree of restriction from day 1 without my band being primed with any Fluid.

Over time, you will get to "know" your band and what it feels like when it is working as it should. When a band slips, you usually will experience a feeling of either excessive restriction and/or will not be able to keep anything, even fluids in your stomach/pouch.

That said, everyone is different...so to get a clarification on your question it would be helpful for you to discuss this with your medical team.

I did not fell any restriction until my last fill. I was 10 months out and could basically eat what I wanted. Now I feel too tight You will get there just hang in there.
