Rebuckling Expectations?

I had a slip then a bowel obstruction last year, so dr unbuckled my band to allow the swelling to go down. I'm scheduled to have it rebuckled on the 15th. What can I expect?

  • All buckled up and doing well. Back to losing instead of gaining. Lost 8 of the 30 pounds I regained. VERY HAPPY to have this tool back.

I am curious to see what responses you get - I have never heard of that. I have been banded just over a year and recently had a slip they removed my band and put a new one in. I hope someone gives you some feedback!

did the band slip cause the bowel obstruction?

Dr. says they were unrelated, but happened within 5 days of each other, so who knows?
