Gastric band slippage?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Please help. I've been banded for 4 years. Initially lost loads of weight but put most of it back on when I fell pregnant. For the past few months I am constantly sick, abdo pain, heart burn. Today I am in loads of pain with it. Should I go to a+e or not?

    2 wks of fluids will be like doing the milk diet all over again (that's if you did this version of the pre op diet) bu it is do-able as  long as you don't run into any more trouble with your slipped band - if you have any more probs  in the meantime do not hesitate to  return to them - I wonder  why they are making you wait 2 wks before taking it out?  Did they say?

      No I did the solid diet coz I don't like milk. But its doable. Yes they said go back if anymore probs and they will take it out there and then. I think its the first theatre slot they had but I don't mind waiting smile
