I have been somewhat scared of the whole band slippage. I want to know from people who have had their band slip, what caused your slip? Also are you a soda drinker?:cursing:

I was very sick with the Flu for 2 weeks which landed me in the ER with the most horrific pain I'd ever experienced in my life. After 2 days in the ER, they did a Barium Swallow and sure enough my band had slipped half way down my stomach. Mine was stitched in place in my original surgery on 2/5/09. I've followed Dr. 's orders since the beginning and have had great success. I underwent surgery on 9/21/10 to reposition the band. The only thing I would do differently now...when I came down with the Flu and started vomitting...I would go straight to the Dr. to have my band unfilled until I'm well again. I thought I was invicible. Band Slips can happen even if your doing everything right.

My band slipped after about 6 months. Pretty sure it started when I threw up Pad Thai... had problems for a few months and had it repositioned. All has been great since then but now I think I have a leaking port. My husband asked if it was worth it.... I said, heck yeah, I am still 50lbs lighter than I was.
