Hello All,

I had band slippage about a year ago now. At the time all fluid was removed and luckily things fell back in place but over the course of the year I regained about 50lbs due to my surgeon being concerned about a reoccurrence; which I have to agree with.

I am back up to a pretty good fill level and have stopped and started to reverse the weight gain but have to admit it really got me down.

Overall I started at 545lbs (ouch) and reached a low of 269lbs and felt outstanding.

Due to my work am overseas all the time and not with my family so support is not readily available. guess I am venting a bit but is there anyone else out there that has faced a similar problem and have some insight on get over feeling sorry for myself and get on with it?

Thanks for letting me vent....

I had band slippage,erosion,protrusion,port site pain,blockage,vomiting,gerd and gained back the weight....revised to RNY....priceless.I feel great.

I think it is not unusual to have a gain when emptied.

You have your tool to help you still tho. Many people go away from the boards when they gain.

Stay and keep posting. Please. We are behind you . You had an excellent loss and I bet you felt better. 50 lbs is not as hard as 100+

And I wish you strength for your next phase. Just keep going with the water and protein. You can do this again and get where you feel healthy. Doesn't matter where... Just so you like yourself there![emoji171]
