How do they fix a slipped lapband?

I also have a Realize Band filled to 7.5 cc's.

Hello Everyone, I am out here just plugging along with slow weight loss but losing just the same. Went for a fill a couple of weeks ago and that is helping. I am at 7.5 cc's in the Realize Band. I am having to be very careful, mostly drinking shakes, milk, water. I hope you are all enjoying your holidays. It is cold here in California! Go ahead and laugh but I am not used to it. I am wrapped in a blanket most of the day. My best to all!

Hi Phyl, Thanks for sharing the x-ray. Of course I am very interested because of my back problems. Please keep us updated on what the next steps are and the feedback you receive. I hope you are pain free. :thumbup:

Just wanted to say hi. I have been out of commission for a while because of spine surgery, but I am back now and so glad to see everyone is doing well.

Hello Everyone, Just have to say that all of you make this the best thread on this website. It is like being a part of a community. Everyone is at an age that they don't have a problem telling the truth and the most wonderful thing is that we would all choose to do it again! Good Luck to those considering the Lap-Band Procedure and God Bless our Lap-Band family. Thank you for allowing me to join you guys. :thumbup:

JerseyGirl, Wow - Good Job - I have the wii fitness but just haven't used it yet. I am a sad sack!:smile2:

You are an inspiration! What exercises do you do on the wii??:smile2:

Thank you Karen. I needed that encouragement and will take your suggestions.

Emergency!!!!!! Have you guys ever gained weight since getting the band? If, yes, what did you do, just diet, to take the weight off and does the band stretch out and never go back to it's original effectiveness? Thanks for any help.

Hi Karen, Movie rental suggestions - "Away We Go", "Chicago", "Night at the Museum 1 & 2", "Bolt" (a cartoon0, " Valkyrie" and "Australia" warning, it is 4 hours long. Happy Watching! Congratulations on your successful surgery. Please keep us updated.:blushing:

I rent most of the time too. I usually just go to the movies around the holidays. I am glad to her Karen is doing so well.

Hi Everyone, I thought "It's Complicated" was darling. The setting was in Santa Barbara, CA., so it was beautiful. I thought it was very cute but might be racey for some. I know that "Avatar" is the big money maker but I might have to rent this one, I want to go see "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Chipmunks" next. Hope everyone is feeling good and looking forward to the New Year! :thumbup:

I want to see both of those movies. I will keep you guys updated on whatever I see. "It's Complicated" and "Nine" are at the top of my list. "The Blind Side" too. I think Sandra Bullock will be a front runner for the Academy Award. Merry Christmas everyone!

Hey, What do you guys think about us all sharing our thoughts about the movies we see over the next couple of weeks?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my lapband friends! I love my band. I have been looking for this kind of help for many years and now I have it. I have lost slowly, 52 lbs in the first year, but that is ok with me. I hope for another 50lb loss next year and I will be at goal. Hope you are all well and happy.:tongue:

Happy Birthday Phyl! :ohmy: Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Unfortunately, I am a carrot. :drool:

I love this site because I relate, like and respect all of the people and their issues. You guys are my friends and I can be honest and expect that you will get after me if I am doing something wrong and you have. I trust the people and their recommendations on this site. I would be lost without all of you, really. I am sincerely interested in all that goes on with you guys, not just lapband stuff. You are in my prayers. Please don't ever let anything or anyone ruin us. :laugh:

KarenIn, I am sorry you were disappointed by the 1.5 lbs. weight loss but c'mon, look at the amount of weight you have lost. You have done an amazing job and are an inspiration to me. :closedeyes:

Phyl, Thanks for the heads up about the comfort seats at Target! :sad:
