Possible Band Replacement?

Hi,

I was banded September 05 without any problems... In the first 9 months I lost 50 lbs then my band slipped. 1/24/07 my slip was surgically fixed (after a couple of months of unfills).... Since Jan. 07 I have not had a lot of success with my band... I have had many fills and still don feel much restriction... Last month I went in for a fill and the nurse took out Fluid saying that I was too tight.... I am now stuck trying to figure out what to do next... I don't feel any restriction and have no problem eating.... I will be going into the Dr. next week so he can check my band under Fluro.... Has anyone had their band replaced with a larger band? If so, did that work?

I'm really frustrated... Anyone else having a similar problem?

Sincerely,

Banded905

You might want to PM Alexandra the moderator. She had her band replaced with a larger one. I had my band repositioned after a slip, but I've had great success since that time. Best of luck to you.
