Lap Band Slipped

I'm not sure what to do my lap band has slipped and my BMI is only 31 so I don't qualify for the gastric sleeve I'm scared to take out my lap and I don't want to get back up to 280 again. Has anybody ever been approved for the sleeves with a low BMI? Can I live with a slipped band? Help!! Ty!!

    I've read that having fluid removed for a period of time can help the band go back into place. Have you tried this

    I recently had all my fluid removed until July so I know the struggle. I've been doing protein drinks for breakfast and lunch then a dinner but I've made sure all is heavy with protein which has helped keep me from being hungry
