I have a lap band and it is slipping and I need it removed. My doc is talking to me about the sleeve and. I am only about twenty found heavier then I should be. Here is my question. Is there anyone out there that could talk to me about going from one to the other that really liked their band. I could get a new band put back in or have the sleeve and I am not sure what to so.

Is there anyone out there that had their band romoved bacause of a slippage and had a sleeve done. I need my removed and want to talk to someone who has either put a new one in or had the sleeve done in its place. I have to make a big decision.

I had a my band slip and I am going to need to either get it removed, replaced with a new band ,or my doc is talking about doing a sleeve. Has anyone had the sleeve after a band and what is their experience with it.

The one thing that no one said is when you can feel it and know where it is them the Doc can find it better when it comes time to fill or un fill. Also I do kickoxing and get kicked in the stomach sometimes and no one has noticed it, and nothing has happend to it. I have lost around 100 pounds and have kept it off for over a year.

Can someone tell me if you have a band slippage does that mean you need your band removed. I am having acid reflux and call my Doc today. They are giving me a prescription for previcid. Then my Doc want me to have a test to see if it has slipped. What will I do if they said it has slipped. I a kinda freaking out. I have had my band almost two year and I am at goal loss of 100 pound. I dont want anything to change. Please give me advice or expriences please.

Thanks for the advice. I am hoping that my band is fine. It my buddy.

I am having the same issue. I can not eat before bed. I mean several hours before bed. I sometime try and sleep with my head proped up on pillow sitting up. Sometimes I cough and in gose into my lungs. Ifeel sick the whole nexted day. I started takeing medicine to acid reflux and it seem to be getting better. Let me know what you fine out. I am considering calling my Doc.

I had the pain after surgery and sometimes when I eat to much. It does not stay for two long. I think when you complain to a doctor about some of our issues they really dont know. They are surgeons. I wonder how many of them do really keep up with our issues after. I think that is might be air pockets that get up into the shoulder. Iexercise a lot and when I have the pain I move my should and strecht it out.

Lately if I eat a one to two hours before bed time wake up with fluid in my throat and a bit goes into my lungs and makes me cough. So sometimes I go to sleep sitting up. Well the last I went to sleep sitting up the stuff came out my nose. I think that it goes into my lung a make me feel bad for a day. I have can not eat before bed and It is really hard. I was banded almost 1 year and 9 months and was 254 and now I am 156. I think that I am still losing weight and want to stop. I try to eat what ever I want now. I have really good days and some bad days. If I dont eat breakfast of some sort usually my day will go bad. The one thing that saves me is that I exercise. I do it everyday. I just started running. I also do kickboxing. someone let me know about that feeling in my threat.

Yes, if I have a hard time eating for the day I will stop at Taco Bell and have two or three tacos. I have never had a problem eating chip and dip either.

I just want anyone who read this to know that I am do glad that I did the surgery. I was in Arizona for spring break with my kids. I was able to climb Camelback mountaIin twice while I was there. I am 41 years old and have lost 90 pound in the last 1 1/2 years. I work out 5 days a week. I over heard my 13 year old son say he climbed the mountian and the person said he was 39 and never did it. Then my son said well my mom is 41 and she did it. I was so pround on myself and I knew the whole reason for doing the sugery. I can keep up with my children now. I watched my family go up two years ago and I sat at the bottom. I was the best thing I could have done for my self.

I did the fleet the whole day before surgery.

You should stay to want youa are supposed to eat the first six weeks. If you try more food it will only make your espohugus swollen and you will have more throwing up. I threw up all the time and I had an unfill to let things relax . I just got refilled and it is much better. The best advice is do push and try to eat while you are recovering. You will be better off in the long run. You also will feel more restriction in the beginning of recovering.

I had the hiccups all the time and my Doctor had me do an upper GI and was that my esophagus was dialated so he unfilled my for three month and I just got refilled today. I am now feeling restriction again and now I have to pay attetion to how I am eating once again. I did gain weight, about 8 pounds. I want to lose about 30 pounds more. This has been the best decision I have ever made.

I have been having hiccups so I told my Doctor about it. He had me do an upper GI and found that I have swelling in my esophagus and want to unfill my band. I am really scared and I am afraid of againing weight back. Has this happend to anyone. I had surgery Sept 29 and have lost 70 pound and would like to loss another 20 or 25. I need advice. Should I be freaked.

I dont feel any restriction and I was afraid to eat certian things before but now I think I could eat them. I love my band and the hiccups have stopped now. So I will do what my Doc say for a month but look forward to the feeling again. I actually looked forward in feeling full. I also think it is a mind game I play with myself.

I went to the Doc and he said my esphagues(?) was swollen and he took the fluid out of my band for a month. I still want to loose weight about 20 more pounds so I am worried. I did an upper GI so thats how we know what is going on.

fill are no problems but I would stick with liquids for a day or two afterwards. I only have 1.2 in mine and going to get another fill soon. I do feel hungery much more and can eat more. I had my surgery Sept.29 and have lost 58 pounds to date. I would like to lose 40 more.

I want out for sushi with my girlfriend and had to run to the bathroon. I also had hot tea and soup before to help with lossening the band. When I go by myself I do just fine. My friend wanted me to go to one of those brazilian resturants for dinner but I am to afraid the its 45 dollars for the meal and I cant eat that much and what if I cant handle it. DO you have problems if you dont eat breakfast in the morning for the rest of the day?

It may happend if I dont eat anything for breakfast and I only drink for breakfast. I try and eat a lot of protien. It happends about every three to four days.

I have not been on in a long time so let me know what you all think. I have really good days and really bad days where i can eat and when I throw up. I had my surgery Aug 28 and have lost about 54 pounds. I only have 1.5cc in my band. I was told by someone to drink something hot before I eat and it will help a lot. I have tea and soups before I eat to help. I lose about ten pounds and then even off for a week or so. I have a friend that is worried about me throwing up so much. i need some input. Should I call me Doc about this since it dose happend about every three of four day and I cant figure out why or what I am doing diffrent. Part of me want to get another fill but wonder if I can handle. Sorry if this sound like I am rambling but the thoguhts keep coming. Please let me know you thoughts and ideas or experinces to help me. I also workout more latley kickboxing and yoga. I do feel great and like the way I am looking.

Going in for my first fill ,any words of encouragment. Please tell me what to expect.

I had my first fill yeasterday and I have a 10 cc band and I got 1 cc in my band. The doctor told me to only drink fluids for the first day. I keep throwing up. Do I need to wait a few days after my fill . Will it get better or should I go and get an up fill. I cant eat anything only drink. I did eat some cottages cheese and it did stay down but can I live on the my whole life. Please tell me how long I need to wait until my fill will feel better to me.

I am looking for ward to it and I am eating a lot more since my surgery. I actually enjoyed not eating that much for the first time in my life the pressure was off to eat all whats was on my plate.

I think sliming is the slimey stuff that comes up when something dosent go down really good and comes back up. I can eat almost anything now except for pizza which is a bummer.
