Hi, I'm Traci and was re-banded on Friday, Jan 16, 2009. I was originally banded in 2003 and lost about 80lbs...I had band slippage in 2006 and gained all my weight back...so I decided to have the band hooked back up! I am in alot of pain, but it's getting better every day!! I just wanted to say hello!

I'm wondering how long you knew that you had a slippage? I went for a fill last week and they took it all out and put me on liquids for the next couple of weeks to see what is going on. I was overly adjusted back in May last year and had not had a fill since. I'm preparing for bad news thinking now that I may have to get a new band. Can you tell me more about your experience and why you may have had the slippage?

Hi Carla- I couldn't keep ANYTHING down...liquids would come back up...it went on for 24 hours and then I went to the dr's office, he did a fluroscopy and told me it had slipped...I had emergency surgery that afternoon. Not good. Hope yours does not turn out like that. Good luck to you.

hi im new too. was banded on 1/12/09. i feel good- but it feels like i can feel the port-when i sit or lean on my left side. kinda hurts. i wont get a fill till 2 more weeks. i burp alot..and am really constipated, hope i didnt move or break something while struggling to have a bm. sorry for the odd post--but its how i am feeling. :scared2:
