After 2 years of having my lap band and having lost nearly 80kgs I had a horrid slip.
I had revision surgery on 07.05.18 and they repositioned by lap band and replaced my port.
I suffered a terrible bowel infection post surgery so I couldn't eat anything for 2 weeks postop anyway.
On Tuesday (29.05.18) I had my first postop fill, my surgeon put 4ml in.
Pre-slip I sat with 4.7ml and this was my green zone.
Now, even with 4ml in off the bat I have restriction at all.
I wanted to know if anyone else has had a slip revision and this has changed the amount of a fill they require to get adequate restriction?
My surgeon said the word 'leak' during my fill because there was so much air in my band. I have had the worst 6 months with the health of my whole body and cannot handle having to go in for surgery again.
