You might want to post this on the Revision board, others there have shared your pain.

Have they tried unfilling your band and putting you on liquids for a few weeks to see if it will go back to position on its own?

According to Dr. Husted (Revision surgeon specialist) he says that if you surgically reposition or replace a band you stand a 70% chance for another slip.  If you need surgery maybe consider a sleeve?
