If you think your band might have slipped, call your surgeon right away and make an appointment to go in to see him for a check-up. If you are experiencing pain, tell the nurse your signs or symptoms. No, your band will not "slip back" into place. An eroded band can be very dangerous, even life threatening. Please ask your surgeon about it. Go back to the Basics: Eat only when hungry, Chew your food thoroughly and slowly, take small bites, wait 3-5 min. between bites, don't drink with meals, drink your 1.5 - 2 qt. of water per day, and eat nutritious (high protein) meals. Join a support group and visit your surgeon every 1-2 months to have him check on your progress and "fill" your Lap-Band as needed to have optimal results. Good Luck with your adventure into good health. KimM

From what I have heard & read is that a slipped band causes pain and is more painful when one tries to eat or drink anything. I personally have not had a slip, but do know 2 people who have. Both of them were able to go on liquids for a few days and the band DID go back into place. This is what our DR recommended and it worked.
