I just had my band repositioned 2/22. Seems to be going well so far. I had the mother of all slips. Also had band emptied 3 times in last year and a half. I also said there will be no other surgery for me. Dr understood and said they would try to save the band but sometimes they can't due to damage, erosion, or the band simply breaks when they try to move the stomach back down through. All went well. Band is still in place. Other than 6 new holes in my abdomen and a liquid diet, I feel fantastic. I'm looking forward to the second leg of the journey.
