I had my band Sept 21 06, told everyone thinking it would be a huge success. excellent surgeon, op went well. Home next day with empty band. Disaster, husband in coronary care same night I came home.In the pandemonian that followed I dont know if I took in too much liquids or mulched food, but I surprised myself at how much I could take in after a couple of days of not really studying my situation. I actually felt the band was not stable, it seemed to move, but I though I might imagined it. I moved to thicker foods faster than I should and gained 2kg, after the op. at 1month 1ml some action not taking in as much, but not knowing when to stop, before too late, pain, discomfort, regurging for relief. sometimes 2 mouthfuls pulled me up, while other times a small plate of food was no problem until afterwards, I knew I was in trouble.I ate small portions of anything mulched to a paste, lots of chicken soup. gained 2kg, at 1 month had fill 1ml, progressed to more solids, pain regurged small portions, no feelling of fullness till too late! another fill 0.2ml lost 4kg immediatly then nothing for the rest of the month. no feeling of fullness till too late, then regurge to ease the pain. next month 1.1 ml put on 2kg over Xmas. Sometimes two mouthfuls, pain no feeling of fullness, just blocked, drink coke push it through hungry again in no time, gullet feels iritated, never feel satiated, just uncomfortable and bloated have to wash the food through cant stand the discomfort, and then Im looking for something else in no time because Im hungry again. Before the op, I lost 35kg dieting, but put it all back on. At 3 months 1.03ml, no weight loss,
too depressed to exercise, not enjoying any food, eating crap in minute quantities regularly. Doctor has no answers, could this be the symptoms of a slipped band?
it does not move now, since it was tightened, but I reckon it did early on. can any one advise? Oh husband spent 5 days, and an angiogram in CCU, - outcome -indigestion! Doctor says his heart is perfect!
