Slipped Band- Need Support!

I a few weeks ago I had an upper GI and found out that my band had slipped... Because I was feeling better after they took a small amount of Fluid out, they decided that they will wait and see. Last night was BAD- almost had to go into the ER, but I went to bed instead. I received a call this morning from the wls center and I have to go in tomorrow to be accessed. I am sure they are going to take out the remaining fluid from my band (I know this because of my last appointment). I know it's for the best, in the long run. I haven't even hit the "green zone" and now I have to start all over. Please, anyone that has gone through this, tell me it will be ok. Tell me you are doing better after this happened to you. I am so upset and depressed, I don't know what to do anymore!!!

Hi Freedom, I'm just curious as to what happened that caused your band to slip and when they found that it had, why didn't the doctor completely unfill you at that time so that the band could possibly reset itself? What kind of symptoms did you have that made you almost go to the ER? I'm sorry you're having problems but it will get better once you're completely unfilled and back on liquids for a while.
