Hey guys,

Im about 10 days post op and im a little worried... I went for a long walk this arvo and forgot my Water bottle. When i got back i completly forgot i had the bad on and sculled close to a full bottle of water (close to 600ml!). It didnt hurt at all afterwards and there was no vomiting or anything. Would it be painful if my band slipped? Have a ruined everything?! :teeth_smile:

No, you are fine. Water would go right through the band. Band slippage usually comes from having too much fill and doing a lot of throwing up.

Water shouldn't be a problem. Especially if you didn't throw up. :-) Way to go on the walk. You should be proud of yourself only 10 days out. :-)

My wife had a similar experience and asked the doctor, he said there would be pain and you could not eat if it slipped - so it sounds like you're ok. By all means tell your doctor next time you see him/her, but unless you are having problems, I don't think you need to worry.
