Hi Karen,
Have just jumped back on the board to see if I can get some inspiration to get this band working for me again and saw your post, I was banded back in March 2007, and initially lost about 50lbs then after a trip to South Africa and having to have a total unfill have never been able to get back to the green zone - and have put all + a few extra kgs back on.
Very frustrating. I am seriously thinking about a revision now too... Selfpay yet again, which does not feel good when I think what I could be paying...
So glad to hear you have a revision coming up 24th Nov, really hope it goes well and you get great results. Can I ask can they do it al in one operation remove band and add sleeve or two separate operations?
I am going to read the forums for more revision stories, or inspiration to get my band working again. I have just booked a fill with my nurse for Monday - will see what she can suggest from there.
Take special care!

I was banded in 2009 and I've never had an issue like I'm having now. I had food poisoning a few days ago and I threw up few times. It is now day three of recovery and I am constantly hungry and have abdominal hunger pains, even after I eat something. It is like this all day long and nothing is making me feel better. I was thinking my band slipped, but it doesn't seem to be the symptoms of a slipped band or at least anything I've seem online. Has anyone else experience anything like this?
Thanks for any help!

Girl, you seriously made me realize how I have become a lazy sloth since my twins were born. I'm gonna try to find a workout partner and hit the gym again. Maybe I can take off at least 25 of these 35 lbs.
Im so so glad that your band is perfectly in place. It can be scary when you've had your having problems with a band and especially when it's been in there as many years as we have had ours. There are much more failed band stories on here , than success stories so here's hoping we can be the ones who do not have to have removals .....
Update: My band is perfectly in place.
Diagnosis: Too much friction on my abdominal muscles and the band due to my workout yesterday. I performed lots of heavy compound exercises(Deadlifts,Bench press, back squats, among other things) in one day. I was attempting a workout program change by switching to a couple of fullbody days.
Prescription: Slow it down ...lol
Thank you Sheri for your help!

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I will try them and update you?
I wonder if propping up with several pillows on your right side would help at all. Maybe after a nice hot bath to relax you . I wish I could be more help
Oh no. I'm sorry to hear your suffering. I hope that you rest well tonight and maybe your dr wil be able to remove fluid from your band and that fixes your problem ( hoping it's a simple fix ) please update !!
