I have had the band for 2 1/2 years now and after having a baby and not following the doctors oders, I now have a terrible slip. My options are to have the surgery again ( I cant afford this again I was a self pay) or try to see if it will fix itself and have all the fluid out and get on liquids for 2 weeks. My advice.... Do EXACTLY what the doctor says to do or you will be wasting your money. I was very sucessful until my pregnancy. I lost 80 lbs in one year.

I have had my band since October 2005. I got pregnant and had a baby July 2007. Before my pregnancy I lost 80 lbs. 266 to 186. I have a major slipage and am going to have all the fluid out and be on liquids for 2 weeks to see if it will fix it's self. I need to talk to people that this has happened to. Please tell me there is hope.... I cant afford to pay for the surgery again.
