Recovery after slip?

OK i had my band placed just about 2 years ago- lately ive been having problems, vomiting every day for about 3 months, was in complete denial that it might be a slip. Convinced myself that i was doing it to myself, eating too much or too fast, knew damn well that wasnt the case but I tried. Finally told my doctor and he ordered the upper GI, which showed my band to be at the level of the GE junction with no pouch, meaning the band slipped upwards towards the esophagus.

I have to go see my dr tommorrow and find out what he says about it but everything says that it means surgery:-(

Has anyone had this- can he leave my band and just reposition it?? what kind of recovery am I looking at?? What about the insurance?? I have a few girls at work that are pregnant and due in about 7 weeks. Need to take care of this now and get back to work, I was only off for 3 weeks with my original banding.

I am so upset about this, I knew that at some point the band would have to come out but was hoping it would be years away. My job is going to go crazy! This will be my 4th surgery in 2 years( banding Nov '09, gallbladder May '10, shoulder July '11)

As always, thanks for any info and support.
