I am perhaps looking at having my lap band repositioned, I have been told by a lap band Dr. that my slip cannot be fixed by simply following a liquid diet and shrinking my pouch. Has anyone had their band repositioned?

I didn't have a band slip, but I had a port flip. Banded 9/7/12, went for first fill and found my port did a 180...totally upside down. Went back in hosp, dr went in, repositioned and reanchored my port. Still on full food.

Hopefully he will do my first fill 11/19/12...finally. Tired of gaining weigh as hard as I had been working.

I haven't heard of a port flip.i guess it can and does happen.Escpecially if the surgeon doesn't get it anchored really well in the abdominal wall

My port is flipped also. Not to the extent of a 180. He has to go in from the side and it hurts like crazy.

My dr said it was common...mostly at 45-90 degrees. Said he would not need to correct that. Of course mine had to go totally overboard...UGH. Worse thing about it is not being filled yet. Been banded since 9/7/12. Soon I hope.
