Hello all, I am new to this site and it looks like a great place to get some feed back on my issue. I have been banded over 4 years and am at goal weight. Have been at the same weight about 2 years. I am thinking that my band has slipped. I have all of the symptoms pretty much. I couldnt get an appt any sooner than next week so Ill have to wait to know for sure. My question is for anyone who has gone through slippage or knows about it: What happens if its a really bad slip and they have to remove the band? Are they going to re-band me if I am at goal weight? I am about 140 and 5''8 so my husband thinks I should leave it out if I need surgery. But I am worried about maintaining. The whole point of the band is to CURE obesity. And if there is no band in there I could go back to 250 in a no time Im sure. Anyway, I know this is long. Just looking for some insight. Thanks so much!
