Well good luck with that. I found out i had a slipped band also and had all my fluid taken out and am waiting for the insur. co. to approve my surgery again i have gained like 6 pounds back so YES im getting my band replaced. I need it to help me.

I was a size 24.:biggrin: I am a size 14 for now.:smile2: I hope to get to goal weight and size which is a size 8.:smile:

I was banded on 11-13-08 and got filled to fast i think. Thats the only problem i had. I had to unfilled and then started getting filled again. I have lost 75 pounds its been slow but thats ok.

I'm 5' 4 and i would like to get down to 130 pounds.:cursing:

Hi, I'm from the Kansas City mo. area. I had my lapband in 08. I have lost 70 pounds and i have 40 more to go.:smile:

I'm from Kansas City Mo. and i had my lapband in 2008. I have lost 70 pounds and had a couple of down falls with unfills, but would do it again in a min.:thumbup:

I lost 70 pounds in one year!:biggrin:

I started out a size 24 and I'm a 14 as of right now:thumbup: and still going! I have another 45 pounds to go.

I lost 70 pounds in a years time.

I have had my band almost a year 11-13-08 was my surgery date. i have lost 70 pounds and am loving my band!:smile2:

Well i had my TT years ago before my lapband. (back when i had lost alot of weight before) well you will have pain for about 2 to 3 weeks but i had a pain pump i came home with. I also had 2 drain tubes for about 2 weeks. after you heel its all worth it!:thumbdown:

Well i get lost of restriction for the first couple of days and then it gets better. But i will say that some days i can eat more than i feel i should and then others i can hardly eat anything. I lost 65 pounds in 10 months so i feel im not doing to bad.:tongue2:

I'm 10 months out and have lost 65 pounds so far. I have 50 more to lose. its been slow and steady but i know it will come off!:tongue2:

Well I had my surgery back in Nov. of 08 I can't eat any bread, Pasta, Rice, or Tirtillas. Some foods that i can eat one day the next day i may not be able to do. Its just so funny!

when i was 250 i was a size 24. when i was 230 i was a size 20. when i was 200 i was a size 18. i'm 190 and am a size 16.

I'm just under 200. i just hit the 192 mark!!!!!:wink2:

When I can go into any place and shop and not have to try it on cuz i know im that size. cute bra's and pantie sets. walk up more than one flight of steps without being out of breath. have my husband pick me up without breaking his back.:smile2:

I see it on peoples faces some say that i look good others just look and not say anything. I didnt have the surgery for them. and they can look all they want cuz im feeling great!:thumbdown:

I have 5cc's in my 10cc band and i go in for a fill on monday and some days i really need it! So im not there yet but hope i am soon.

I just got back from florida and i went from there on a cruise i didnt have any prob. but i have been told some people do.

I have 5cc's in mine and i think maybe 1cc more or so. Some days its good and some days i feel i need some more.

I had my band done on the 13th of Nov. I have lost 42 pounds. I had a small fall back also i had all my fluid taken out on my 3rd fill due to me getting sick soooo much. I did start again with my fills (I have 4cc in my 10c band) so i hope everything is back on track!

I had stitches. had pain in my port area only!

I had my surgery done at kansas city and good luck to you!!!!

I will do my best to answere them.
