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?
