Well my band has slipped. After 7 months and many many sleepless nights due to acid reflux and dreadful heartburn, I go in for surgery tomorrow to reposition my band. Thanks god he can reposition it rather than take it out completely because if that were the case I would be devastated. Looking forward to getting back to normal again.

Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck on your surgery!

Hi

Only joined this forum today! Read your post with interest. I'm 6 years post Lap band surgery this month!

I've been relatively problem free with a weight loss of 7 stone (98lb). However duRing the last six months I've regained half of the weight and suffered from dilbilatating acid. Reflux & vomiting.

I've yet to get to the bottom of this?

Good luck hockeymother.

And what does your doctor think?

I would get checked! I was told that acid reflux is a sure sign that something is not right.

Long story really... Well I went back to where I had it done but only saw a nurse and that was a waste of time as she ended up filling my band. Now things are worse than ever!

Yes I know. The problem I face here in the UK is that I had it doMe as a private patient. Therefore the Nhs won't deal with it and I don't have any money to pay for investigations.

I am in the process of trying to get transferred across from the paid system to the free one.

Surgery went well. Now I start over new! Liquids.....mushies and so on. It was so nice to sleep last night with no heartburn or acid reflux. I didn't have to prop 4 pillows behind my head and back to sleep sitting up. On the road once again.

Good luck!
