I did have a slip and replaced about 12 days ago

I just wanted to let you know that the problems I was having were due to my band being slipped! It has been slipped due to the problems I have been having for prob a year but just getting worse! I did have my band replaced about 12 days ago and am feeling pretty good!

Mercedes how have you been I would love to catch up!

I just thought that I would let you know the problems I was having were because I had a 4cc band that sliped and I have been having problems ever since I posted this and I had a band replacement 12 days ago and I am feeling pretty good!

Well I am about 12 days out from my reband surgery, I did find out last week that I have since developed a hernia from one of my insicion sites which hurts like @#$! I will have to have another surgery to repair this now but other than the pain I have from this area which is constant I feel pretty ok! the swelling has gone down and I am now able to eat pretty much anything soft, My new band is a 12cc band and it is empty but I have yet to gain any more weight so far I was wondering when I can get my first fill? I do have a po check on thursday to evaluate the hernia and to sched surgery so hopefully I can get a fill and start using this new band!

Hi there I was REBANDED on feb 27, 2008 and I too feel lousy not very hungry!! I think this is normal I had a slipped band that was replaced with a new and improved bigger band so I am excited to get the rest of this weight off! I am still on liquids but I have a patch for nausia did you get one of those?

I was also REbanded on the 27th of Feb and I have not ate anything since monday the 25 of feb due to a slip and I thought I would have lost some weight by not eating but I still weight the same so dont get discouraged it will come just give it t ime.

Hi there I was rebanded due to a slipp on the same day as you! So it is like starting over and because the first time was 3 years ago it feels like starting all over, I too have the same pain on my side that I have chalked up to gas also. But it does seem to get better a little each day! I had the smaller band the first time so it was always tight the one he put in this time is the bigger band so I am able toget more down at this stage and maybe because I already had the band its less tight at this point than you r is because it is initally placed keep in touch with me and we will get better together!!

Hi there I am in Pueblo I was banded initially aug/05 and then rebanded due to a slip 4 days ago! Dr, James Smith is my doctor! Anyone out there in Pueblo want to chat.

I had the 4cc band until 3 days ago which I had a major slippage and he replaced my whole band with a new bigger one he also told me that they dont use the smaller one any more I am also 3 years out from initial banding! If any one has question feel free to ask I am good with sharing my experience so every one is informwe!

I have severe migrain headaches so I am unable to take any kind of birth control!! So that sucks because sounds like that would be a cure!! thanks for the info I have an appointment on Jan 7th to get a fill but I am very concerned that this will happen again!! I have started the lasics though and they seem to help but I am empty so who knows!! i am very scared to gain weight back again though!

Well when I went in about 3 weeks ago with the problem of being completely closed off I think it was a combination of throwing up with the tightness causing swelling that closed it but he suggested that I take lasics about a week before i start to keep the fluid off of me but I have noticed this problem getting increasingly worse over time and it may be just my body getting older and all but I wondered if anyone else had this problem, cause its nice to know this is some what normal ya know!!

I have been banded about 2 1/2 years, I have had great success! I would do it all over again if I had to. I have only had minimal problems since the surgery. My issue now is that progressively i have had problems with it being very tight during that time of the month! It has always been a little tighter during this time even since the beginning but lately probably I would say the last 6 months it has been "very tight" during this time to the point I have had unfills because it gets so bad! I am currently unfilled completely because last month it completely closed on me where I couldn't even swallow my own saliva! and at that point I only had .8cc in it anyway!! So my questions to anyone is if this has happened to you or is this just my dumb body and will I be like this forever now! Is there some suggestions on a fix, at this point I would try anything. I am unfilled and scared of gaining weight back again! So any info would be greatly appreciated. Carrie:help:

Hi I have been banded Since august of 2005, I have had no problems unitl now, and I haven't really done anything different to cause the problem that I am having now but I am really scared of a slip or something is wrong, can anyone tell me what symptoms you have with a gall bladder problem, and could this feel like pain coming from your band, I started getting sever reflux about three weeks ago and about a week ago I just have discomfort in my abdomin( no spell ) anyway it doesnt feel like anything I have felt before as far as getting something stuck and PBing it is just very uncomfortable and it usually starts to hurt a little while after I get done eating but not pain like overeating or getting stuck just like a maybe burning feeling and some discomfort in my chest like tightness, I was just trying to convince my self that this could (hope) be mu gallbladder of something other than my band soes anyone have any thoughts on this, I do have an appointment on Monday to see my band DR. becasue I was concerned about the reflux. but I can't get this off of my mind I am soooooo worried, I don't want it to be my band!!!! I have worked so hard at this. I have been reading threads and can't seem to find any on gallbladder symtoms. and I forgot to add that the pain radiates to my back between my shoulder blades and if I take deep breathes this seems to relieve the pain for a short period of time but it will come back any help would be nice thanks!

Hi there! I am really bad I have not posted in about 6months, I always tell people who inquire about my band to go to this web site and read they will find everything they want to know about it but I also say that most people who are not having problems usually won't post so you will only read about mostly bad things because of that and here I am not posting forever until I am having a problem, and I first apologize for that in advance! Any way I have been banded since Aug 05 and have had no problems what so ever with my band until now. I am having sever reflux it first started at night and has gradually gotten worst in the daytime. So bad that I wake up choking because of the reflux, my chest burns all the time and so does my throat. I do not have a hard time eating or drinking at all it's just the reflux. My band is half full and I haven't had a fill in about a year. I was wondering reading all of your reply's if reflux is related to TIME, if after a certain amount of time being banded does this occur and is it normal? just a thought.
