Hi,  I have a couple of questions for you folks checking in here. 1.  Has anyone had a band slip?  If so, what were your symptoms? 2.  Can anyone help me figure out how to change my profile (I'm trying to change from waiting for surgery to the date. Thanks for any help you can give me!!  Jeannie

1.  Sorry I don't know as I am not banded yet. 2.  My surgery date is wrong—how do I fix it? When you enter your profile under "my account" on the top right of the site, click on the “I've got a date” link in the middle column. When that page opens, you will see where you enter your surgery date information. Be sure and scroll down and hit “update” so it will save your changes.

If you check the band forum, you will see several questions like the first one.  I haven't had a slip (knock on wood) but most describe it as painful with severe vomiting or reflux.

Thanks.  I am headed for Dr. tomorrow to have it checked out.  I either have a slip or.....a bad case of the flu.  My guess would be the first, but hopefully the last. 

 

I noticed your tickler and it seems that we are pretty much in line as far as weight we started out and then your final goal.  It seems realistic for me.  WHere are you from in Nebraska.  I am in Sumner and work in Broken Bow.

Can you keep any liquids down or any food down?  If you can, I am betting on flu.  If you can't, I am betting on band. I am in Omaha.   The 175 is kind of a pipe dream for me.  Anything under 200 would be fine but I would like to be under 184 so I can have a "normal" BMI - I am 6 ft so <184 is normal. Good luck at the doctor.  Crossing my fingers for the FLU!  :)
