  2. I was banded May 2013 lost weight prior and right after surgery but now have put it back on as well, not all of it but close. Very disappointed and hate the way my doctor acts towards me so si have not gone back since sept, I just not sure if it is all me or the band has slipped, wish I knew if it has slipped or not
  3. Suez journey how are things going with the RNY from dec 23?
  4. I think it may have slipped, at times I can eat and then at times I take one bite and have to excuse myself from the table to go to the restroom to cough it up or wait for it to go painfully down..just don't know. Thinking of changing my doctor also, my doc said to me no need to see him if I just going to gain the weight it was my choice
  5. How did you know your band slipped, I was banded May 2013 lost several # s till August, and stuck issues, well my eating style and old habits changed , I stopped watching calories but just now I am almost back to my original weight and I can eat like I use to and have no problems but a do have a few stuck issues and pain in my left shoulder when I have stuck issue. Can it of slipped? Or just pouch stretched out? I hate it....I am so upset and miserable
