Lap band worked great for a year. Not slipped but can't take a fill.

Ok. So I'm just getting this app. But I see many posts about really bad struggles. I think I'm joining the ranks but if anyone has advise I'd love to read it. ...I got banded over 2 years ago. 1st year was wonderful. Then stress hit and my stomach went crazy and I kept having to take Fluid out. Then they adjusted my stomach meds and over the course of 4 or 5 months I gained 10lb.i went back last week for a small fill. Did great through Friday. Then yesterday I couldn't get anything down. I'm starting to do the same today. I need the presume for appetite control. But I don't seem to tolerate it now. I don't know what to do .

You know that being able to get nothing down is unacceptable. Put in a call now to your surgeon or NP or whomever does your fills to report the situation. They'll probably want to take out some of Fluid that was added last week. It does mean something that you're on a second day of not being able to eat.

Getting just the right fill level sometimes is tricky. The band is called "the fickle biitch" for a reason.

Don't become discouraged.

Have already called. They said to come in if I stop urinating. To push liquid. Then get in 1st thing Monday. If those don't hold I will have to go in. But I have already experienced the eroom. They have little knowledge and call the surgeon but my or may not ever get around to taking out Fluid. Weird to be up to 5.5 ml and now just over 3 with major struggles!

I am in the same boat. Band had not slipped but lately any fill causes issues. I am on acid reflux med twice a day. I want to go back to the days when the band worked beautifully and I was 8 lbs away from goal...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
