Hi all,

Haven't signed in in a while but after the forums lovely birthday message ( I figured I'd come back and say hello and share my experience. I was originally banded in April of 2010. Lost a lot threw up a lot more and band slipped. Revision was done in November of 2012. Women's intuition sent alarm bells ringing recently and I insisted on an esophagram before any more adjustments... Looks like my band slipped again -it wasn't even at full restriction this time. I'm freaked out -I just turned 23 I don't want to be going to surgery every 10 months! Did anyone else have this experience and what happened? Was the band removed?

Thanks-and good luck all!

If I'd had two slips, I'd be looking at other WLS options... maybe sleeve??

Thanks for your response!

The nurse at the practice I go to (Gaspar @ Dr George Fielding NYC) said I'm too young for that.

I think I'll have it fixed for the second time and if it slips a third time I'll have to remove it or do something else...

I wonder what causes the slips-like in the period between November and now when it wasn't even fully tightened....

I've heard that slips are caused by over eating or by vomitting a lot ... I've never had one so I have no idea. Im sorry about your predicament. Have you been able to keep the weight off during your revisions?

Best of luck!

No

I think my first slip was caused by committing but by second slip I wasn't even completely right yet they were doing it slowly so that the band doesn't slip.

Hey all!

Wanted to share the excellent news that my band went back into place!! Thank G-d.

Great news, happy for you!
