    AmberK got a reaction from debbied888 in Help Band Keeps Slipping What Else Can Be Done. No Ins Coverage.   
    It only slipped one time but the slip was so severe that the doctor said I needed to have the band out. Was told that I could have another band placed but I read statistics saying that the chance for success with a 2nd band is significantly less. I was having such horrible problems with throwing up and reflux and I don't want to live my life like that. So I chose to have the sleeve.

    I was diagnosed with a band slip back in March and am currently scheduled for 5/29 for band removal/revision to the sleeve. I am lucky that my insurance is paying for it. Have you looked into going to Mexico to have revision surgery there?
