Question:
Has anyone ever had to have the surgery done again?

I have a problem with my band and have had a slip since Feb 2006. Yes I lived with it this long. Now I am afraid that I have messed something up really bad since it has been so long. I am going in to a New Doc on Jan 2 to look at my band and to maybe have to have the slip fixed. Which my insurance that I use to have is no longer anygood. Thank good My husbdands will take care of fixing it. This is why I have waited to long to do something about it. I lay every night with acid reflux, and vomit up a small amount of fluid with left over food. Which is gross. I have had someone tell me I might have stretched out my gastroplasty pouch. Is this so when I have had a slip and all the fluid has been removed. I am like o.k. what if this is the fact am I going to be able to be normal again by starting over I mean. I just want to get the weight off. It has been almost 2 years in Feb and I have to have this done again. I have heard if that is the fact. It does not work as well the second time around. IS that so?? I hope not. I would hope that it will be o.k. But what if it is and I have a stretching of the gastroplasty pouch? Someone please help and tell me if you have gone through this as much as me twice?    — [Deactivated Member] (posted on December 18, 2006)

It would be BEST to go talk with your Surgeon!
