Hi, I had my lapband done in 2009. I lost 70 pounds and was well on my way to my 120 pound goal when my band slipped.(2011) I was not able to eat anything or drink anything and ended up having to have surgery. Afterward, I was afraid to put any fluid into the band for fear that I would slip again. I gained back 50 pounds before I decided to try and get back on track. After a couple of fills, I found myself vomiting and immediately asked that they remove fluid so I would not slip. My band is not in the "correct" position, but it has not slipped again. It is leaning a little. I eat mostly foods that slide down because I am afraid of what will happen. I have gained all but 7 pounds of the original weight. How do I get over the fear and get back on track. I have to have parital replacement of both knees and they will not do it until I lose 80 pounds. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am also having issues with hunger. I am going for my two weeks next Tuesday and are really scared that he will not do an adjustment because it is too soon. I started soft foods yesterday and had no problems. I would have thought that I will feel the fullness or not be able to eat much. While I ate much less than normal, I just don't know if I got that full feeling or not. That is scary to me. When I woke up this morning, I had actually gained 1/2 a pound. I know that it is because I started soft foods yesterday, but it is still depressing.
