X POST: Lap band slip question
Wow self pay twice. That is a lot of money. I tried convincing her but she is so stubborn that she just thought I was trying to foil her plans. My other best friends 2 sister had the band and I just remember being at their house every time they came from a fill that same night one of them always had to go to ER due to the pain. I thought it was craziness but I had the RNY so I didn't know any better. Also my friend is a binge eater; a serious one so maybe thats why she got the band for restriction purposes but when I told her to come on OH she would always say sure sure and never come so I stopped trying. I hope she has no problems but the band slipping and eroding into your body parts is enough to scare me.
I bet you are quite excited about getting the sleeve.

No, I can't feel it at all. I can feel my port under my skin though. No biggie. But I really wish she would have listened to you. The band is just too much trouble and, for me, it didn't work.

I never felt that it slipped. I knew bc I couldn't keep anything down. I also had the work acid coming up my throat for months. It looked like coke. I lost weight drastically. I also coughed and choked while I was sleeping. ... Hope this helps.
