Hi I had a band slippage also, My stomach was twisted. I was so....sick could'nt even hold my head up. Thank God for Dr Carroll in Jackson Ms. I had surgery on the night of may 26th. Dr Carroll was able to save my band. He did a wonderful job. I went home the next day. I'm having to start all over again. I'm on liquids, did'nt remember it being this hard. Ha! Anyway I'm on the road to recovery thanks to Dr Carroll...
