Lap band Slip



Recommended Posts

Just wondering who in these rooms have experienced a slip? I went to the doctor last wee and they told me I have a slip. I have to go back in just a little over a week to see what they want to do, maybe a revisional surgery. I really do not want to have this as an option but I am willing to if I have to. You see, I was one of those who experienced some pain in between my shoulder baldes when I ate. The conclusion was it is referred pain from a nerve touching something (diaphram or stomach) dcotor is not really sure. So when the pain became intolerable I would vomit because I noticed when I got rid of the food out of the pouch the pain would go with it. Well needless to say some damage as occured. Now I have to pay the price. I'm just hoping I didn't let it go on for too long and I do not have to have another sureger. Please keep me in your thoughts. I am now down to 179 from 237 that's the good news.

Often time you can fix a slip in a month or so with a complete unfill. That is what you should do first then go back in for small fills.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
