I had my band put in on March 2nd of this year and am down about 50lbs, 25lbs away from my goal. I have been reading all the threads on here about slipped bands. I found out yesterday that my band had slipped they took all of the saline out and put me on liquids. I have to go back to the dr in a week for another X-ray to see if it corrected but after reading on here I am so scared that it won't correct or they will say they have to take the band out. I cried and cried as they unfilled my band yesterday because I'm so scared of the weight coming back on and feeling/looking like a failure. Has anyone ever had a slipped band correct itself and didn't have it slip again?? I was a self pay and I'm really feeling like I may have wasted all that money if they have to take the band out The nurse told me that once the band slips that there is a good chance it will slip again I'm so scared and worried

There are plenty of people on here that have had minor slips that have corrected themselves after an unfill. Fingers crossed that it's all going to be OK

My band slip was fixed by a complete unfill and 6-wk rest period. If it's a bad slip and/or the unfill doesn't help, surgery might be necessary to reposition the band. In the past 5 years, I recall encountering only 2 people who had more than one band slip, so i think that's the exception and not the rule.

Thank y'all! That makes me feel a little better I think that will always be a fear in the back of my mind now if it slipping again. But maybe that will make be me extra cautious . I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it corrects itself
