5 years later...band slippage?

[blackcherry2002 5]

Ok so, I have been totally fine with my band. Never had any huge issues. Last year I went in and had a port revision and Tummy Tuck. Now about 10-11 months later I go to the gastroenterologist for different problems. But they do an Upper GI Xray and they said the barium won't go down. Well that's weird because I really haven't had any problems. If I eat super fatty food I get a little acid. But prilosec takes care of it. And say if I eat really tough meat or Pasta (which gives us all problems anyway)...then I may get burpy or like I'm stuck. But I have been getting increased burping (really gross ones too, sorry TMI)...that's probably my only symptom.

The xray tech and gastro have NO clue about lapbands but after looking online and finding pictures of what a band slippage looks like...mine looked awfully like it. Plus they said that my band looked as though it was placed almost opposite the direction that it usually is placed. Which is something my initial doctor could have done anyway but...the full baggy pouch above the band...make me think slippage.

Any opinions? Did any of you have almost no symptoms when your band slipped?

You need to go see your bariatric surgeon. Neither an x-ray tech nor the internet can tell you if you have a slip. Guessing based on the internet does you no good whatsoever.

Go see your Lap Band surgeon.

Well I made an appointment with a new dr. My initial doctor and the other doctor that did the port revision are both now gone from that hospital. And I'm mainly just looking for similar experiences from people. Not a diagnosis.
