Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in sooooo very long but recently I found out that my band has slipped and i have to go back in to have it corrected on 1/28. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect. My Dr says it's basically the same procedure all over again, same surgery minus the port scar, same diet but she couldn't tell me about continued weight loss.

I'm just wondering if anyone has continued to loose after revision surgery. I was banded on 12/21/06 and at my best had lost 80lbs but have since gained back about 15 due to poor eating habits due to the slippage. Any insight as to what I could expect would be greatly appreciated. I am alittle apprehensive about this surgery but I know it needs to be done.

Thanks in advance

Sorry that I can't answer but could you post on how you came to know your band slipped? I mean, were you having symptoms or something? Or did your doc just find it?

I had had bad reflux for awhile. The Dr. unfilled and filled my band several times, it was ok for awhile but then happened again. She finally sent me for a barium swallow test and saw the slip.

I am in the process of "healing" a slipped band. I had an unfill on January 2nd and go back in on January 28th. Hopefully it will be all good...and I can get the band filled again.

Good luck to you!!
