MY BAND SLIPPED AS WELL I WAS BANDED IN 2007, NOW SHE WANTS TO REMOVE AND DO THE SLEEVE, ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT?

Ok so I was banded in 2007, I have been living with a slipped for a while now, I had gained some weight and I have been living on tums, I went to the Drs the other day and she took 1cc out, now no more heartburn, well she gave me a perscription so that helps. Now she said it was time for me to do a revision, so I said new band she said NO the sleeve, so she said she could take out the band and do the sleeve at the same time so now I have some thinking to do, has anyone gone from band to sleeze and if so how do you like it? Thanks, MP

I went yest and had to get an unfill because for some reason it got tighter after losing 22 pounds!!!!! So going in gor a upper GI to see why doing the oppostite.

Well I had to get an unfill yesturday, and I just lost 22 pounds in about 9 weeks, very strange, I should have to get a fill, not an unfill, has this ever happened to anyone out there? I became very tight after losing the weight, so I have a appt for an upper GI on Tuesday to see if anything is ging on in there with the band?

I just lost another 15 pounds and for some reason my band is much tighter... Seems to me that this is the opposite of what is suppose to happen, I would think it should get looser not tighter!!!

Has anyone had this, I just lost another 15 (91 total to date) this past 2 mo., my band should be looser, its getting tighter on me, cant seem to keep food down today??

That is awesome, now you will have to let us know how May 3rd goes, I might do it as well? Thanks

Now I have been banded since 2007, I was up like 15 so went back in for fill, and now losing it all, BUT... for some reason the band does the oppisite on me, I have lost 13 pounds now, and the band got much tighter, so having an upper gi on the 1st to see whats going on, has this happen to anyone out there??

Thanks, the only meeting I had went to was in the very begining with a room full of people and the Dr's going ove with a film what its all about, I have not gone to any other meeting, which I would like to go to the next one they have.

So what are the meetings all about, like who does them, what are some of the topics? Thanks, Mona

So the meetings are held in the waiting room of Dr Vernons office? So what are the meetings like, like who does them a Dr.? Thanks, Mona

Thanks for the info. Hope to see you there, Mona

CAN SOMEONE LET ME KNOW THE TIME FOR MONDAYS MEETING I WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, IT WILL BE MY FIRST TIME? THANKS

I hear ya, I was banded back in Oct 07 as well, I have been gaining a few pounds for thae past 6mos., and I get heartburn which I never had b-4, I have been living on tums. I think I may of been a little to tihgt for a while now, but the past week I seem to be getting more hungry than ever b-4, so not sure if I now need a little fill, but I have good and bad days of food going down, I havt had a fill in 2 yrs. I guess maybe I should go in and see her, but I dont want her to take it all out then I will gain the wht.

Did you see on the news last night about the study of the Lap Band the last 12 yrs?
