What's the chances of recovering from a slip without surgery?



Recommended Posts

Update - I did go in and the slip resolved itself. It's so hard for me to read the X-rays as much as I'm trying to! I like to know what it looks like and when it's not right. They said they don't do a full unfill unless bad. With smaller slips they take some out like mine so not all the restriction goes away. They put .25 cc back in. He thought it looked to slow at .50. I think it's ok. It's not as restricted and I'm hungry more (don't like). I really am not eating more but I'm worried as my weight is rising. I learned one thing . I prefer very tight. I'm going to try and loose or maintain at least and it I can't will ask for another .25. The unfill did resolve the heartburn almost completely.

I knew an unfill would resolve most of the issues... I've been there so many times when i had my band.

It sounds like you are almost in the green zone actually.

When you are in the green zone you feel "hunger" but you get restriction.... it shouldn't be painful or tight.

Surprisingly i lost more weight when i was in the green zone than when it was too tight.

Try not to get large fills from this point, only really tiny fills... its amazing how only a tiny bit too much can drive you into the red zone.

Glad everything got resolved... all the best on your journey

      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! 😞
