Hi everyone, it’s been a good while since I have came to this site. I was banded in 2012 and yesterday I had some scopes done ( colonoscopy and EGD ) they had believed my band slipped. Went to the Lapband dr today and did a barium swallow test and an unfill . Thank God no slip. Guess I just let it heal and try again????

@chenie69 I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had a really rough time and a bad day. Did your doctor suggest you give it time to heal? What symptoms were you experiencing that caused you to get tests done? Sending warm wishes for better days ahead. [emoji258]

I was in the same situation as you. No slip but my band was unfilled. Luckily the pouch went back into place but the month without Fluid in my band was tough and scary. Afraid of eating and gaining weight. Luckily tomorrow the dr will start filling the band again and hopefully I can get back to my old weight. Just a few lbs to lose but it's hard to do.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
