Question about band slippage

[Kristi]

Hi All,

Well I have a question about slippage. How do you know if it has happened?

Has anyone had this happened and how does it feel?

The reason I am asking is because on the 25th of August I was horribly dizzy and pretty much threw up all my dinner. (it came up liquidy and not chunky) Sorry for the descriptiveness.. And this was the only time I have ever gotten sick since being banded.

Well, there were several days after that it felt different when eating. Now eating has gotten back to normal recently,

but could I have inflamed my belly puch, and it needed time to heal. Or what?

Any thought or ideas on this?

Thanks for the help,

Kristi

It sounds like you were sick, (food poisoning?) normally when this happens I go on liquids for a few days to make sure I give my band time to heal.

If you continue to have problems you should go in for a check up – especially if you have heavy acid reflux or can’t eat - or most important - you can't swallow liquids. Get in for help.
