I was also sometimes able to eat almost anything, but more often, had problems keeping things down. I didn't have a clue my band had slipped until my flouroscopy. If you're not losing 1 to 2 lbs a week, my Dr. said there could be a problem. I had stopped losing, and had "put up" with this for a few months, before I went in to be checked. He un-filled me for a couple of weeks to see if the band would re-position on it's own, but it didn't. The second surgery was much more complicated, due to all of the scar tissue, but it was the right thing to do. My advice to anyone who is "productive burping" is go immediately to your Dr. It may save you from a repeat performance!

If you are doing ANY productive burping, see your Dr. before you have another fill. I was having the same problem, and was too tight. I thought it was my fault, maybe taking too big a bite, or eating too fast, but my band had slipped, and I had to have surgery to have it repositioned.

Hi, I was recently banded (july 25th, 06), and am looking for any groups that meet in Bellingham, to share post-op experiences, etc.
