well i'm still on liquid and semi soft diet until 4/23 when i go back for another upper gi. dr is pretty sure it will go back to normal. i'm really being careful on my diet. on a good note i've started losing again and down 12 lbs. i think i'm just so scared of losing my band that i'm very cautious.

yeah that's what i told my dr the other day but he said some insurances will only pay for 1 bariatric surgery a life time so if that is so then i'm stuck with the band or without, or have to self pay for the sleeve cause that's what i wanted. i guess i'll have to call insurance company and ask them before i really know if i can change.

Julianna did you band correct itself or you going to have to have surgery to fix it. has anyone on here ever had their band to correct itself or did they have to have surgery

yeah i had a tummy tuck and breast lift and lipo to my side flanks and something in me didn't feel right either. the only thing i knew was for sure was that i was eating more and wasn't feeling full. i switched lap band dr's cause the one in memphis was a horrible man and he wouldn't run any tests on me, just kept telling me i was just eating too much. when i switched dr's last month, my old dr wouldn't tell my new dr anything so they did the fluro to see what type band i had and how much was in it and that's when they found the stomach prolapse(what the fluro tech called it). now i'm on all liquids for a while and then get to move to creamy with no kind of chunks whatsoever until Wednesday. then i can slowly start adding 3 oz of soft food

i had no symptoms at all except weight gain. they did the fluroscope Wednesday morning and that's how they found mine. she said with me having no chest pain, no reflux, no throwing up that i prob caught it early so i'm hoping liquids will fix it and no surgery.

i too just found out i have a band slippage. they have me on a liquid diet right now. Not sure how bad the slippage is but he said if it was real bad i'd be in the hospital right now having surgery. They fully unfilled me and am now on liquids since Wednesday morning 2/26. is there a chance that my band will go back to normal with me doing Clear Liquids for couple weeks and after that creamy liquids like Protein drink, pudding, Soup, etc.......so is the chance of it fixing itself better then it not??
