Banded July 2005 with a starting BMI of 48.9, weight of 286 lbs Weight loss so far is 93 lbs, my goal weight is 140 or below, so still another 40+ lbs to go .

Thanks for suggestions, I have been having the same problem....:confused:

Hello everybody I found this website by chance, I was looking for the symptoms of a band slippage. I have had my lap-band fitted in July '05 in Southampton-England and lost so far 90 lbs. I actually moderate another weight loss surgery website for Europe and I also run the support group for my region. I hope to get to know you all..:Banane04:

Hi Anne, thanks for replying to me. Thanks to this website I rushed today to get a total unfill and it was heaven sent, such a relief! The nurse said I was severely dehydrated, another few hours like that and I would have ended up in hospital. I had not been able to keep anything down for the last few days, probably due to a virus and the reflux was horrendous. It's now completely gone like it was never there in the first place.... Now I am left with a big question on my head , I am due to have e-rays next week to check if the band has slipped. If it has I will be admitted for surgery and with a 15 months old little boy it's not an easy thing to organise! Wish me luck I really need it. Josie
