My Band Slipped "Help" me Please

Hello I am 22mths out and have lost 60lbs but after 12months after I began to feel different no restriction, had two x-rays first on showed nothing, and second one showed my band has slipped and they drained me twice and now drained. I was told I might have to go back into surgery to have it replaced with a newer band should I worrie because I don't want gain my weight back after working so hard to lose it. And will insurance pay for this procedure just a little concerned?:scared2:

    You would have to check with your insurance company to see if they could possibly pay for it.

    If you get a newer model of band then I don't think you will have much of a problem with gain.

    Do they think by staying unfilled for a while, the band might resettle into position?

    Yes this is a question you need to be asking your insurance.

    What does your doctor say? I'm sure there are some tricks they can try to get your band to slip into place. I'm sure your insurance company would pay for a replacement, just call them. Hopefully it will slip back on its own and you won't have to have the procedure done again. Good luck!
