how do you know if your band has slipped????



Recommended Posts

Any help would be amazing.

I got sick with gastro the other week and was vomiting quite a bit and ever since then I really haven't been able to keep food down and today when I was sick after only a few tiny spoons, it felt very different than normal. It was harder to bring anything up, more painful and it felt like there was a something in the way stopping it coming up but I haven't eaten for anything to be there and as I sit here now my stomach hurts.

I know I need to speak to my surgeon but it is a public holiday tomorrow and I wont be able to speak to him till Wednesday so I thought I would see if anyone else has felt like this or gone through this.

Thanks for reading

I've had flu issues before and also thought that my band has slipped. After twice getting an abdominal scan, dr. said that with the vomiting and stomach issues, the tissue becomes swollen and it will become hard to eat. Stick to soft foods, liquids for a couple of days. But always check with your md.

Good Luck!

This mine nothing happened, like the flu, just started having symptoms like your. Good would get stock after only 1-2 bits. I'd be in so much pain and then up it would come and the pain would be gone. Sometimes the vomiting was very violent and painful. I could vomit 3-4 times just to get through a meal. Or I would have to eat so incredibly slow (like 45-60 mins a meal). I just knew it had slipped and after an endoscope that is what they found. Good luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
