Just what I needed

I just celebrated 10 years on November 4th, with the Lap Band , I have been getting heartburn and pains bad, some days I couldn`t eat anything, Called the Dr, I Just came back from a xray, and My band has slipped,   He happend to be at the Hospital and took the 2 cc`s out I had in so I have no Restriction any more,  I`m afraid to eat because I don`t want to eat to much, Looks like I will be having surgery again, 

Just remember, if a band slips once you are at VERY high risk for it slipping again.  That is why most surgeons won't reband anymore.  Might want to start looking at other surgery types.

Now, with that said the band mills will reband because that's all they do, but revision surgeons typically will not reband or reposition.  It's just a 3rd surgery around the corner when they do.

Thank you have been Looking for other types,of surgery Doctor said I need to qualify for the other surgerys, 

I hope I can   

Thanks Ron

Sorry this happened to you. Whatever comes next, my very best wishes.

Thank you Kate

Terribly sorry to hear it, Ron. 

I hope you are able to revise or have the band removed without too much trouble. 

Sorry to hear that, Ron. A complete unfill resolved my band slip. Hopefully taking all the fluid out of your band will fix your slip and avoid further surgery, or at least give you time to carefully consider your options.

Good luck!

You might want to check out the failed band group.  Many there have gone thru the slip, unfill/refill, reposition surgery just to have it slip again.  Some even try a 2nd or 3rd​ band just to have it removed.  Good luck.

Ten years--that's awesome! My 10yr Bandiversary was 12/23.
