My band slipped and they removed my fill about three weeks ago. Sometimes when I eat I get extremely gassy by the band area and the port becomes sore. Sometimes I am fine. It is mostly when I eat dry meats and some vegetables. Does anyone else have this problem? Yesterday was tough the discomfort start ed at 8 last night it is 5am in the morning and I am still uncomfortable. It has never happened this long. I am afraid to eat. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Hi, I only know about the slipped band because it happened to my daughter, we both went in for a fill, she had not been in 1 year and when she drank the barium it just stayed in her chest, it never passed through the band into the stomach, within 6 days she was operated on and luckily they were able to re-position her band, she also had a hiatal hernia. She experienced very very bad acid reflux and lost a ton of weight which is good and bad, the first year she lost 163lbs, but now I wonder if it was because the band slipped. Stay strong, at least your band can be repaired without surgery- and I do remember it was very hard for her to eat after it slipped, it may be related to the hernia.
