how to tell if band slipped?
Hi All,
I see Dr. Curry is slow with responses and wanted to ask here.
My friend insisted that I try a piece of bread. It was doughy.
When I ate it, I felt like I was about to die, felt so sick, and could not breathe. I did not vomit, thank god. I am only 2 weeks post op and not good with following rules.
I had an esophogram last week, all ok, should i get another one because of this incident? Am I crazy for thinking so? I do not want to have any problems so early on! Please advise.
I wouldn't think you need to get another one. Have you been experiencing any issues since this incident? I would lay off the bread and anything that you would consider a food that will get stuck, you are still healing so I would definitely stay away from these types of food for awhile. I wouldn't think you have slipped your band especially since you didn't vomit. I had the same experience as you less than 2 weeks out..I wasn't very good at following the band rules right away either so I had a stuck episode and thought I was going to die. It was very scary but I think everyone experiences this sooner or later. I hope this helps! Congrats on being banded!
