I got my band in 2008 and recently had to have it unfilled because of slippage. I had it unfilled for about 5 months and gained 20 pounds. I just went today and had three CC's put back in and will be drinking only clear fluids for the next 24 hours and then I'm supposed to do mushies. Its been so long since I did this as I haven't had a fill since 2009 so I don't remember what constitutes mushies. Suggestions? Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App

I just recently had to have all of my fluid removed because of reflux at night. I gained 20 lbs over the last 5 months. I only had 4 ccs total in my band. I just went to Dr today and had 3 ccs put back in. Gotta be careful with the reflux because of the possibility of aspirating into your lungs and getting pneumonia. My band had slipped. Just give it a little time and wait to make sure there isn't slippage and maybe you can get some of that put back in. The vomitting could cause some slippage so just be patient and maybe you can get some fluid put back in. Hope that helps. Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App

That doesn't sound normal and if you are getting sick then you are in danger of slippage. Definitely call your doctor. Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App
