They told me tht my band had sliiped n theytook all of my fluid out of my band n sd hopefully the band will syke itself n recorrect itself.....I dnt see my doct until the 28th of feb however Iam able to eat like a normal person n keep fluids downs....I feel great bc Im nt straining myself n hurtin myself anymore....have anyone of u bandsters ever experienced this?

Sorry you had trouble but glad you are feeling better. I hope your band repositions itself on it's own.

I'm sorry, but I really can't read your post.

I hope you get better though.

I am infilled. My band has slipped too. I am having it fixed on March 14th. Mine did not fix itself as they hoped.

Hope yours repositions itself....Good luck

Wow, Tiff. I hope you feel better and praying that band repositions itself! Tracy--I'm so sorry you need to have a revision to yours :-(

Good luck to the both of you!!

How does the band "fix itself" back into position? Just curious. Thanks!

when a band slips, the lower part of the stomach pushes upward past the band. usually the doctor will unfill the band completely in hopes that the stomach that slipped up thru the band slips back down past the band.

if it repositions itself, you can get fills again. if the stomach doesn't reposition, surgery is necessary to fix it.
