I did have a slip and replaced about 12 days ago

I just wanted to let you know that the problems I was having were due to my band being slipped! It has been slipped due to the problems I have been having for prob a year but just getting worse! I did have my band replaced about 12 days ago and am feeling pretty good!

Mercedes how have you been I would love to catch up!

I just thought that I would let you know the problems I was having were because I had a 4cc band that sliped and I have been having problems ever since I posted this and I had a band replacement 12 days ago and I am feeling pretty good!

Well I am about 12 days out from my reband surgery, I did find out last week that I have since developed a hernia from one of my insicion sites which hurts like @#$! I will have to have another surgery to repair this now but other than the pain I have from this area which is constant I feel pretty ok! the swelling has gone down and I am now able to eat pretty much anything soft, My new band is a 12cc band and it is empty but I have yet to gain any more weight so far I was wondering when I can get my first fill? I do have a po check on thursday to evaluate the hernia and to sched surgery so hopefully I can get a fill and start using this new band!

Hi there I was REBANDED on feb 27, 2008 and I too feel lousy not very hungry!! I think this is normal I had a slipped band that was replaced with a new and improved bigger band so I am excited to get the rest of this weight off! I am still on liquids but I have a patch for nausia did you get one of those?

I was also REbanded on the 27th of Feb and I have not ate anything since monday the 25 of feb due to a slip and I thought I would have lost some weight by not eating but I still weight the same so dont get discouraged it will come just give it t ime.

Hi there I was rebanded due to a slipp on the same day as you! So it is like starting over and because the first time was 3 years ago it feels like starting all over, I too have the same pain on my side that I have chalked up to gas also. But it does seem to get better a little each day! I had the smaller band the first time so it was always tight the one he put in this time is the bigger band so I am able toget more down at this stage and maybe because I already had the band its less tight at this point than you r is because it is initally placed keep in touch with me and we will get better together!!

Hi there I am in Pueblo I was banded initially aug/05 and then rebanded due to a slip 4 days ago! Dr, James Smith is my doctor! Anyone out there in Pueblo want to chat.

I had the 4cc band until 3 days ago which I had a major slippage and he replaced my whole band with a new bigger one he also told me that they dont use the smaller one any more I am also 3 years out from initial banding! If any one has question feel free to ask I am good with sharing my experience so every one is informwe!

I have severe migrain headaches so I am unable to take any kind of birth control!! So that sucks because sounds like that would be a cure!! thanks for the info I have an appointment on Jan 7th to get a fill but I am very concerned that this will happen again!! I have started the lasics though and they seem to help but I am empty so who knows!! i am very scared to gain weight back again though!

Well when I went in about 3 weeks ago with the problem of being completely closed off I think it was a combination of throwing up with the tightness causing swelling that closed it but he suggested that I take lasics about a week before i start to keep the fluid off of me but I have noticed this problem getting increasingly worse over time and it may be just my body getting older and all but I wondered if anyone else had this problem, cause its nice to know this is some what normal ya know!!

I have been banded about 2 1/2 years, I have had great success! I would do it all over again if I had to. I have only had minimal problems since the surgery. My issue now is that progressively i have had problems with it being very tight during that time of the month! It has always been a little tighter during this time even since the beginning but lately probably I would say the last 6 months it has been "very tight" during this time to the point I have had unfills because it gets so bad! I am currently unfilled completely because last month it completely closed on me where I couldn't even swallow my own saliva! and at that point I only had .8cc in it anyway!! So my questions to anyone is if this has happened to you or is this just my dumb body and will I be like this forever now! Is there some suggestions on a fix, at this point I would try anything. I am unfilled and scared of gaining weight back again! So any info would be greatly appreciated. Carrie:help:
