I was unfilled last year from 8 cc to 6.6 cc in my 10 cc band, because I became pregnant.

I went in yesterday for my first fill in almost two years. I have a MAJOR slip. It almost looked like a mushroom, lapped over the band.

They said it is repairable with 2 weeks liquids and 1 week mushies. Has this happened to anyone? I need some support!

I feel so sad and defeated!

I'm not banded yet so I can't say I know how you feel, but don't give up. Remember, it can be repaired! I know it feels like a setback, but don't let it discourage you too much. Recently I heard a man say something along the lines of, "You're not defeated when you fall down, you're only defeated if you don't get back up."

Sending you love and hugs and prayers!

Love that quote about being defeated. So true.

I was diagnosed with a slip and waited almost two years before having revision surgery. I don't know, I guess I hoped it would fix itself?

I have to say, even though I'm just five days out from revision surgery, having my band fixed is amazing. I feel so much better and eating goes SO much more smoothly.

Don't hesitate with that slipped band, have it fixed. You will be happy you did.

I have read that a slight slip may repair its self with a start over diet following one like after surgery. Going through the stages. I would try it if dr advises it's easier than a revision.
