| I think my band slipped *prayers please* | |
I need prayers please.
I am 4 1/2 weeks out and I am fairly certin that my band has slipped.
I think I ate chicken to fast on Friday and for the last 3 days I have pain in my band area and all the way up to my throat and it feels like I have a big lump in my throat
I am back on liquids 100% today Yesterday I ate about 50/50 liquids solids.
I just need your support and hugs. I don't have insurace and to spend the money on to have my band fixed will put a finantual strain on my family.
Thanks
Jen

Hi Jen-
I'm so sorry to hear you are having trouble.
I did want tell you that you should get this checked out as it can be life threatening if left too long.
My story: I started swelling 2 days after surgery. I started vomiting and the band slipped on day 4 after surgery. They did not do the floro test for another 3 days - by that time the band had pinched off a portion of my stomach and caused it to necrose (die). I had emergency surgery and spent 4 days in ICU with a systemic infection as a result.
They can find a slip with a very simple flouro procedure. If you tell the docs that there is a financial concern the hospital may have ways to help you.
In any case, PLEASE do not put your health at risk!!

I am going in on Monday for the same thing. After my 4th fill I have been real tight and PB'd ALOT - everyday, a lot. Now over the past 4 days I've been spitting up some, burping ALL THE TIME, and had some stomach pain. I pray to god it's just too tight and not slipped. I will pray for you too! Let me know tomorrow!

You both need to see the doc ASAP. Best of luck that neither of you have a slipped band though. *hugs* :)

Hope all goes well! Good luck, that 3 days definitely does not sound like a good time! Wow, a 3 day long PB. I think that would be the record!!!

Jen, I doubt you slipped. I think you just very badly irritated your poor pouch and stoma. Any time you have ANY problem, stop eating that meal. then go back on liquids only for at least a day and call your doctor or post here for help. Dry chicken is one of the foods that may not work very well - all foods have to be very moist. you also muct start with tiny bites and chew very well. Hope you'r ok. Please follow the band rules very well, to avoid trouble. Renee

Here's hoping you feel better but I agree with those who believe your band has probably not slipped.
It's never fun to irritate your pouch or esophagus - but since you are such a new pre-op I think it's probably just a case of you overdoing it.
Band slippage is a serious occurence but I believe (and I'm hoping) this is just irritation. PLEASE let us know what your doctor says. We'll be here for you.
Happy Band Journeys to all.

OH THAT IS EXCELLENT NEWS.
These tricky little suckers can really act up - but if it's in place then hopefully your doc will be able to help you do better with it.
Good Luck and Happy Band Journeys To All...
