Leaking Band

I had my lapband done a few years ago. After almost a year, my band had slipped and would not hold a full fill. I had paid for the surgery myself-insurance wouldn't go it-and then found I would have to pay too much than I could afford to get it fixed. Now, insurance will cover this. I am wondering if anyone else had this experience and if so, did you have it fixed and if so, has it held now? I have a Dr appt on Monday next and would like to go in as informe
