I had my second Lapband surgery last Thursday I was having terrible pain eating solid foods and after a swallow test my doctor discovered my band had slipped down way down over my stomach. It took four hours to take it apart and clean up scar tissue and reposition my band. Has anyone else had this happen? I am feeling fine today still on liquids I am praying this won't happen again.

I've heard of erosion, but this doesn't sound the same. How long ago did you have the band put in? Any idea how it happened? One more thing for me to worry about! Lol seriously, hope you're feeling ok.

My first surgery was on sept 2012. I did fine. I lost 65 lbs within the first year. Haven't lost much since then but maintained my weight. Still want to lose 35 lbs. I have loved my band. A few problems from time but nothing an adjustment wouldn't fix. Them a few weeks ago solid food starting killing me. Terrible pain hours after eating I knew something was really wrong. And it was! Mine was a really bad slip. Only the second my doctor has seen. The worst he's seen. No erosion. I'm hoping for a new start and lose the rest of my weight. When was your surgery ? How are you doing?

I had lapband with plication and a hiatal hernia done last Thursday. The first 3 days were miserable, but today I'm feeling better. The only thing is I laid around in bed and my kids didn't do anything but get the house messy, of course! Anyway, for whatever reason I have a very short fuse this evening and have yelled at my kids like 3 times already! Lol they are 10,12 and 16. I started looking up feeling anger after surgery and it does seem to be a consequence for some of us. Hope I can get more back to my normal attitude when I am upset, and not feel like I could pick up this trailer and throw it! Lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
