New Band- Slippage



Recommended Posts

My 1 year anniversary was on Wednesday.. I had to get a new band on Tuesday because it slipped. I lost 110 pounds since surgery last year but the past 2 months I wasn't sticking to what I was doing and it slipped! It was awful

Do you think it was all down to your eating habits? I'd be inclined to asking for an extra stitch to hold it in place lol x

wishing you well x

OMG!! OK I want to know EVERYTHING. How did you figure out the band slipped? Were you not able to eat/ keep anything down OR did you just stop feeling restriction? May I ask what band you have (lap Band or Realize?) I've lost 110 but gained 30 because I haven't felt any restriction...My doc put me up to 11CCs...I'm freaking out here!!!

Ive had the band since March 2011. Lost about 60 pounds first six months. After that it was a constant up and down of 3-5 pounds, Kept going for fills and having to have them taken out after a week or two because of too much restriction / chking feeling. Had endoscopy two weeks ago and found out my band slipped upward. Had it repaired and stitched on Monday, in an emergency surgery. Home recovering this week and hoping that this never happens again. After reading up lots about what makes ppl's bands slip, like eating too much, drinking carbonated beverages and not chewing I dont think I did any of those things. Good luck everyone! Always chew beyond what you think is enough!

I'm glad you are good now. What is the main reason why bands slip? I'm curious. Thanks

My band slipped because I threw up and pb'd too much....I am sure it can happen for other reasons.....my first symptom was reflux....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
