95% of slips and complications are due to the patient's fault, not the fault of the band. Chances are very good you'll never have a serious problem if you follow the rules of the band and your doctor.

I just past my 7th year "banniversary" and I've had not issues at all. The band was the best thing I ever did for me. I started with a 54" waist and am now a 30" waist. Tom, Toronto Banded July

Just remember no matter what type of WLS you have you still have to work at it. For me the band is a "tool". It's a wonderful "tool". When I was losing I still had to "diet" and make healthy food c
Had my 1st Dr apt in August went in thinking I wanted Lapband. Found out my insurance covers both and my dr said it was truly up to me. Since then I've talked to alot of people, asked a ton of questions and gone to a support group which had Lapband patients and sleeve patients. I wanted to see if there were any others that are still on the fence about which wls to get. My primary concern is for my kids. My only concern is with the band slipping.. I've been hearing/reading alot about people getting major reflux and coughing all night..come to find out the band has slipped. I barely gave time to get Lapband let alone having yo gave a revision god forbid. Any feedback would be appreciated!!
