Lap-Band Revision

Hi,

I've had my Lap-Band for about 3 years and have done very well. The last few months I started having problems eating anything solid, with lots of pain and vomiting. Unfortunately I am one of the 5% that have suffered a slip. Anyone else out there dealing with the same? I had to have surgery to reposition the band, but am soooo afraid that it could happen again. I asked the doctor what I could do to prevent it from happening again. He said they are not sure why it happens, could be from excessive vomiting.........Just hoping someone else out there has been through the same!

Yep, I slipped and just had a new band put in on March 14th. I am worried too, but am trying to do the right things. I did have some bad vomiting and then I think it becomes a vicious cycle. I don't know if it's me, but seems like I have seen more "slipped" peoplke on here. Or maybe I am just more sensitive to it since it happened to me.

On mushies now and not happy. I can eat regular food on easter Sunday and hope to have my first fill the week following. I forgot how bad the head hunger is....
