Band Slippage



Recommended Posts

HI,

Been having some challenges over the last 4 weeks. I am 2 years out from surgery.

Found out my band has slipped. So now I am unfilled for the next two weeks.

Then will meet with doctors to discuss the next steps. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Did the band adjust its self? Did you have to have another surgical procedure? Would love to hear some feedback

I have had been band since 2006, it slipped in 2008. That's the sickest I have ever been on my life.. I was dehydrated couldn't keep anything down. Couldn't walk I was so sick. Lucky for me I had a great doctor, had emergency surgery that night, he fixed everything and no more trouble. Good luck to you... Hope everything goes well for you..

My band slipped in feb of 2014. Did a complete unfill for 6 weeks and band immediately went back into place. Started getting fills again in March, and it slipped again in July. Had revision surgery on July 29 to reposition the band.

My dr said that once the band slips, it's more likely to slip again in the future.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
