I went to get a barium swallow this morning and found that my band had slipped. I have had problems for a year now and couldn't take it any more. My boyfriend wants me to have it completely removed but I'm scared about gaining weight back. I've lost 110 lbs! What do they need to do to correct the slip? The band is completely empty so that isn't the problem. Waiting for the dr to call me back to see what the next step is. I've had the band for 5 years and started having problems last year. I was told I had reflux and to take a medication. I was still having pain though and it was stopping me from being active. I did some research and found out that it could be a slip and that I don't have to live with this for the rest of my life. I just don't know what's next. Any info will help!

I can only have soy or egg protein. There is some sort of milk derivative in most things. I have to stay away from whey, milk, lactose and casein. And I love whey protein shakes! The other ones taste awful! Lol

I was having a problem eating so I went to have the band checked and I found that it was almost full some how. I had it emptied. I was having reflux issues so I went to a GI Dr. He did an endoscopy and when he did that, he found some swelling so he dilated my stomach. I got sick and threw up a few times and thats when I think it happened. I have lactose intolerance so I got swelling in my stomach and when I had pain that's what I would dismiss it as. Then I was reading other posts where people had reflux and belching and I thought maybe it could be more. Then once I was told that it slipped, I figured out the radiating pain I was experiencing throughout my back must be from that. I can't wait to get it fixed! I go in on July 19 and hopefully it can be fixed and I don't have to have it removed.

how do you add the ticker?

I mean after. The liquid and then integrating solid food in.

I was also informed that I have to do the diet all over again. The only problem I have is now I am lactose intolerant so it's going to be a little harder for me because I can't do the regular protein shakes and yogurt and things like that. Is there a place on this website that has the diet so I can plan before I go to the dr?

what is plication? I just spoke with the dr and he can fix it in one surgery. I have learned a lot and can't wait until I feel better. I know exactly how it happened too.

I had the band put in 6 years ago and up until august I was doing fine. Then something happened and I somehow had fluid in the band when there should have been none. It was so tight all I could do was drink. Nothing else would go down. Since then I have found out I have Gerd and I. Lactose intolerant. I can't eat anything with dairy because I get has pains and bloating for days. My boyfriend wants me to get it removed but I am 16 lbs away from my goal and have ready lost 107. I don't want to put it back on. Has anyone had these types of problems?

I had an unfill and they emptied it out and then there was fluid in it some how. It was almost totally filled. I have days where I eat really well and then there are days when I can't eat anything. It drives me nuts. Especially with the lactose intolerance and the Gerd. It makes it hard to eat healthy

How do you know if its slipped?
