Hello; I have some questions about having a slip. I had the band since Sep 04 and lost a total of 65lbs. I have never felt restricted and have a fill of 5cc in a 10 cc band. I followed the Doctors program to a tee but about 6/7 months ago I started to regain weight and noticed I was eating more. I went back to my Surgeon and he did a quick upper gi and told me not to drink alot so he could see things better. He then told me everything is in place and not to worry. Well since then the Surgeon has left the state and is practicing in another state. I have regained about 35lbs now and looking for ideas on whats wrong and what to do about it and also a new Doctor in the Miami Fl area. Thanks

rtgirl77; You are right, I did have a 10cm not 10cc Inamed band. So if I am at the limit then something else is wrong. I don't have any of the symptoms that others have described as far as slippage. I will check out the link and see what I can find. thanks

Thanks for the info from both of you, the funny thing is that before my doctor left he told me that I did not have any more space for anymore fills. I am still searching for a new doctor but the fill info from my previous doctor threw me for a loop. Thanks
