I'm feeling that my band has slipped too...I do not throw up daily but I only have 5cc's in a 14cc band and occassionally get stuck. I had a bad stuck episode a few weeks ago. Since then, EVERYTIME i eat my stomach gets so sore and hurts....When I stand up, it hurts to stand up straight for a few minutes. Could this be a slipped band?

It frustrates the CRAP out of me too!!! I go next Thursday for a fill under flouro so maybe we can see what's going on. I hope so!!

I want to see if anyone else has experienced what I'm experiencing. I have had my lapband for over 2 years now. I went a year and a half with NO issues...I had 8.5 cc's in my band (I think I have a 14cc band). Anyway all of a sudden I started having reflux so he removed 2 cc's. Then I ended up having to have all of it removed. I stayed completely unfilled for about 2 months then I started getting fills again. Well I"m having a hard time with them. I got my first one OK..then the next one I got was 2 cc's and had to have 1.5 removed, went back the next month and got .5 cc's and had to get it removed. So now I only have 4.5 cc's in my band and it seems that everytime I get a fill even a small one, I have to get it removed. I don't know why but I do know that I need a fill and right now I really don't even feel like I have a band. Have any of you experienced this and if you have, what was wrong? Is something wrong with my band???? Please help!!!

I really need some advice b/c I get all anxious and stuff. I do go to the Dr tomorrow. I feel like I have the symptoms of a slipped band. I have had heartburn for a couple months and have eaten LOTS of tums and took prilosec. But lately I have all of a sudden started getting BAD reflux so bad that I wake up 4-5 times a night choking and inhaling it into my lungs. I've done this 4 night straight this week. I know sudden onset of reflux is a sign of a slipped band. Just so you know, I was banded in March 2008 and had my last fill in November 2008. Tonight I don't think I can eat anything b/c I have this lump feeling in my throat and I am constantly feeling the need to burp and when I can, something comes up. Sorry to be so gross, I just need advise.:thumbdown: Thanks:confused:

Hello everyone, I just found out about this site but i was banded on 3/11 also. I am feeling ok..I know i'm not getting in enough Protein but I don't see how i can. Any suggestions???? I'm still sore of course but that is to be expected. I went on my first journey to Wal-Mart since surgery and I walked around a bit...It was nice:) Congrats to everyone who was banded on 3/11 or anytime near:)
