I called my DR to schedule the EGD that he requires at the 1 year mark. I found out that my band has prolapsed. They removed all the fluid (2.4 cc) and put me on liquids for a week and mushies for a week. Then I'll have to do another berium swallow. If gravity and this diet works then I can start fills over again. If not they'll have to fix it.

Has this happened to anyone else? I would like to hear from ya!!

hope everything goes well, sorry i do not know anything about this.

I dont know about slippage but can you flip your port?

Does Anyone Know If It Is Possible To Flip Your Port? Thanks

I was getting a fill one day and a girl before me had her port flip. They were able to get it back during her fill visit. She said it was just uncomfortable pressure.

Thanks for the info but that must not be my problem I dont feel any pressure.Thanks again

Yes. I pretty much had the same thing happen to me. Went for a fill and found that my band had slipped. I was unfilled immediately, made to wait 4 weeks, then wound up re-banded because the band never totally righted itself. There are many others who've been able to return to fills without being rebanded. Good luck!

I just had my band replaced last Thursday. I went through quite an ordeal. I hope that gravity works for you. I had no clue what was going on except that i became deathly ill. I could keep no food or liquid down for the past 2 weeks. I became so sick I went to the ER thinking i was having a heart attack. It wasn't my heart but my band. I had been banded for 3 years and this happens!! The doctor told me my band had too much fill. I had terrible acid reflux. I didn't know this was caused from too much fill. After 3 years you would think I would have know this. I'm recovering. Good luck.
