Well, I'm new to the site and wish I would of found this a long time ago. I was first banded on Feb. 5, 2009...and with alot of hard work I've succeeded in losing 124lbs. Then the bomb was dropped 2 weeks ago when I had the Flu and landed in the ER with a Slipped Band. I just had surgery on Sept. 21, 2010 to re-do the band. I can't help but wonder and worry if this is gonna happen again. I can't guarantee myself that I'll never get sick again. So here I go again...liquids for 5 more weeks, and introduce food to my stomach all over again. I'm really frustrated and wonder "what am I suppose to do" if I get sick again?? Anyone have the same problem?? HELP

The first thing to do is to always keep an Rx for Phenergan or Zofran or the like in your cabinet. It was probably the violent vomitting that helped your band slip.

I wish you the best, you have done so well with your wt loss, I can understand your concerns about life w/o the band.
