I had to have my band removed in February due to a bad slip. I had lost almost 70lbs now I am up about 25. I still feel that the band was a wonderful tool and can't wait to get it put back on.

I am hopefully being rebanded early August and would love to hear from people who have been rebanded. Is it easier the second time, any advice of any kind would be appreciated. I would love to hear your story.

I just got banded in May, but was wondering if you know what caused your slipage?

Hi Lundy lane

Congrats on being banded.

I think that it was a combination of things. I was very restricted, I got into a PBing episode and could not stop, and I lifted a trundle bed with my son who dropped it at the last minute which left the weight of it on me.

Now that I am doing it again, I will take the fills a little at a time, I will chew chew chew, I will force myself not to pb, and above all I will be careful on how much I will lift.
