My band slipped up??

 

Hello,

I've been banded since 2010. I've been steadily gaining weight over the past year, have no restriction even with several fills in the past few months and I have been experiencing a lot of reflux and incessant hiccups. I had an Upper GI Series last week and an Upper Endoscopy yesterday and my band has slipped up to the base of my esophagus in the cardia region. I've only heard of the band slipping down with the stomach sliding up over the band. Has anyone ever had their band slip up?

Yes, my EGD showed the same thing...according to the GI doctor. I'm hoping to get some clarity on it. I'm hoping to have my band removed and revised to a sleeve.
