I'm not sure what to do my lap band has slipped and my BMI is only 31 so I don't qualify for the gastric sleeve I'm scared to take out my lap and I don't want to get back up to 280 again. Has anybody ever been approved for the sleeves with a low BMI? Can I live with a slipped band? Help!! Ty!!

Ouch! I'm not sure what I'd do if I were I were in your shoes. I have thought about it quite a bit. Not sure if I'd get another Lap-Band if I had issues with it or revise to another procedure. What is your surgeon suggesting?I meet with him Wednesday... We will see... If he does not agree with revision I will find someone who will... Glad your doing so well.. I was told "you have a failed surgery in you" by my thyroid Dr... -

I think after getting the band I have turned into a alcoholic... Waiting for sleeve approval and nervous about the fact I can't drink but I wanna stop or cut back Forsure! I been miserable with my band and gave up on it years ago... Slipped,leaking,port flipped... I can't wait to feel "normal" -
I got preggo at 240 the first month trying with a fertility monitor and when I tried again after WLS ... I was 160 and then I was told I didn't ovulate on a regular basis... Not sure why....

Self-pay costs of different surgeons.....
MyMeshelle replied to amlus's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Becareful... sometimes they say the fills are included and the actual office visit is not... I paid 17,500 for surgery with a year of lapband fills but the office visit was $110 so i actually paid $110 for fills... now that im over 1 yr out... i pay $110 for Office Visit and $150 for fills... so thats $260 a fill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
