Seeking success rates after surgery to correct a slipped band

Hi all

Just hoping to contact anyone out there who has had a band surgically adjusted after it slipped. Did it work? Has it slipped again since? Does it take long to heal?

I had a band fitted in 2010 and loved it, and had great success. But over the last 2 years I've drastically lost weight as I can't keep any food down, sometimes even liquids regurgitate.I'm waiting for corrective surgery but wondering if I should just have it removed?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I had my original band placed in 2005. I gained about 50 pounds back and doctor found a slipped band. I had it removed and replaced with a new band in 2012 and lost the weight again. I went from 325 to 169.

I suggest having it removed. It is surgery with a high fail rate and chances are you'll be back in for another surgery. I experienced a dialated pouch with slippage over a decade ago. The surgeon asked me if I wanted him to fix it, and without second guessing I asked him to get that thing out of me! It can do all sorts of internal damage as well, just think of your esophagus and stomach being squeezed off by a belt (can't be good). I wish I had known now what I new then.

every person I know who had a silp has ended up revising to another procedure. one of them learned the hard way. she had 6...yes 6 slip surgeries before she figured it out and got the band out. keep in mind, the longer it is in, the more opportunity it has to do permanent damage.

I revised to RNY...
