I have been having severe reflux so the doc did an upper GI and then I had a scope. The results were not good. The doc said my band has slipped. Now they want me to see the surgeon ASAP. I had talked to my surgeon before the procedure about slipped bands and he assured me that he stitches the band in place and that they wouldn't slip. I guess he was wrong! I'm very upset and scared. What do I do now? Can someone please help? banded 8/28/2006 down 75lbs as of 9/07/2007 :help:

Thanks diet Pepsi. It's nice to know that you had a good outcome with your band replacement. I just hope I don't have the same complications after surgery this time. Continued success to you as you reach your goal. I still have a way to go. I'm glad that there are people out there to help so I don't feel so isolated.

Thanks so much for your reply. I guess I have to remember that God is there to do the worrying for me. It's always hard when you feel like you're in the dark and don't know what to expect. I wish you continued success with your band. I will let you know what happens at my appointment on Wednesday. Thanks again. It's nice to know that I'm not alone.

I just read about the muffin sized fritta and was wondering if you could share your recipe? That sounds really good and I love Rachael Ray !!! Thanks _____________________ Banded 8/28/06 Dr. Chua Mt. Sinia Hosp p305/n249/g160ish

Does anyone have a site that lists Protein values? This would really be very helpful. I'm trying to keep a food diary to help get back on track but am having trouble finding the values.:hungry: Banded:08/28/06 Dr. Chua 304/254/many more to go to reach goal!!! I saw that someone waws setting mini goals. What a great idea. I'll have to give that a try!!!:clap2:

Hi Leslie, Thanks for the reply. I got a lot of inspiration from what you said. I know I have to make more changes, like the cutting and chewing and everything else. Thanks for reminding me of that. I would like to know more a bout the book that the doc gave you before your surgery. Maybe you could e-mail a copy to me. my e-mail is souixb@charter.net Keep up the good work. You truely are and inspiration. 08/28/06 Dr. Chua, Milwaukee, WI Sheboygan, WI 304/254/lots more to get to 175 50 lbs gone!!!

I would love to be a part of this group. We need to BAND together and help each other out! My support group is not helping. I don't go anymore. :help: I don't know what to eat anymore. I'm beginning to wonder if I made the right decision! Banded 08/28/06 lost 50, 84 to go

I'm so glad to see that someone other than brand new banders are out there!!! I had mine Aug. 28th, 2006. I'm at what seems to be a plateau. I was hoping for a faster weight loss process but I guess I just have to be patient. I had some problems about a month ago with reflux and they took some fluid out of my band. I have basically no restrction right now. I'm afraid I might start gaining. I need some advice. My support group is a real waste of my time. I have to drive n hour to get there and then we brake into groups occording what type of surgery. Lap banders are the biggest group. By the time intros are done and the people who haven't had the surgery yet ask their million questions the meeting is over. I'm not getting any support and am really frustrated!

I wouls like to know what PB stands for. I am new to the site and would like to be able to help if I can. I am having a lot of trouble too. Mostly with reflux and vomiting. I also can't go poop. I only go once every 4 days and then it's so painful I cry and try not to let it out.
