My band slipped after 7years and I was so upset and mad as I thought we had a great relationship but he slipped up and had to leave me so I've replaced him with a 11 cc and I hate this band so different to the 4cc band but I'm a bit scared that this one has slipped as well but I will wait and see I say this because never really had any restriction with the new band and had lunch the other day and I had grated carrot and celery yes I know celery isn't that good if your banded and I was so full after a couple of mouthfuls and thought this is great then tea had the same and I vomited ever since then I can feel restriction like with my 4cc band can drink and eat but only a little bit and I'm full for hours no pain but am gurgling a bit and burping go back to DR in 3 weeks and will see maybe just a bit of celery caught who knows.then my weight is ok 63 kg was 112kg but I love my band and if it has slipped again I will have a big dummy spit xx
