[anolen 10]

Had to get rebanded on Oct 4,13 bc my band had slipped! The signs were vomiting, acid reflux, couldn't hold nothing down even Water r Gatorade!! So the trick is chew chew chew your food & don't drink while eating!! I've learned hard way!!

I eat lunch at the Senior Center each week day. When I get there I smell fresh coffee. I have to sip a half cup! I don't drink during my meal, but it is tempting to have another half cup with friends when visiting afterwards. Life puts so many things in front of us each day! Exactly what is it that the mealtime liquid does? When home or eating out I have no problem. I'm just think in' . . . .

Sorry to hear about the replacement. Thank you, though about reminding all of us the importance of chew chew chew. They are the magic words that we all forget sometimes. Feel better.

Is there a specific even that you can point to as the cause of the slip? Thank God you've got your new band! Take care!

I have felt the warning signs when drinking while eating, or close thereafter when food is still in the pouch...extreme pain...it is the pouch suddenly becoming over-inflated from the food being there, then suddenly adding Water...perhaps doubling the volume all at once....So I will NEVER do it....learned the hard way.

I'm curious, for my own research, how long were you banded before you had the slip????

I read that the food doesn't actually sit in our pouch, but goes through in about a minute...and that's why we have to wait a minute in between the bites ???³. I don't drink with my meals just because I noticed that I can eat more if I drink. Can you explain what actually caused your slip please?

I had a major slip 2 years ago, and had my readjustment in October of 2011. You are right, chew, and then some. Best wishes, Karen
