band complications

Hi everyone!

I have had my band for 2.5 years. I have lost 90 lbs. I have done well and until recently, I have started having difficulty getting fluids down at times. I do not get solids down. I am trying to find out info on band slippage or if this sounds like a simple fix with getting my band deflated a little.

Have you called/been seen by your surgical group who did your surgery? Aren't we supposed to be seen by them at least once per year after surgery?

I would start there...if you've moved away, I would find a new bariatric surgical group and go to them.

Good Luck!
