Slipped band
posted on 12/30/08 8:42 am
I went to the dr last Friday because I had intense back pain and for a few days some unreal acid reflux that I had never had before.  My doctor was gone and so I was able to get into another surgean.  Anyway- he did an upper GI and my band slipped.  I know now looking back that I was too tight. There was a couple of times for breakfast I tried to eat and I was like saying "oh xxxx" because it hurt to go down.  Same with drinking a little bit of fluid even a sip after I ate.  I wish I would have been told or given some symptom signs so I new when to call the doctor.  My surgery pain medication didn't even touch my back ache.  But they did an immediate unfill which helped right away.  I did have another pain medication to relieve the pain and it helped.  But I didn't need any more after that. I am feeling good.  I am currently down 39 lbs.  Hooray.  The other surgean thought I was losing really fast!  Which I didn't know if I agreed with that.  It dropped thought when I wasn't feeling very well.  So I go back in this Friday to see where its at and to see if I have a small fill.  He may just let it rest for a little bit. So we'll see what happens.  And also I was really upset and the dr had seen that I had been crying and he said that this can be common and it was okay, so it must have been a small slip!!
