I have a lap band and it is slipping and I need it removed. My doc is talking to me about the sleeve and. I am only about twenty found heavier then I should be. Here is my question. Is there anyone out there that could talk to me about going from one to the other that really liked their band. I could get a new band put back in or have the sleeve and I am not sure what to so.

Is there anyone out there that had their band romoved bacause of a slippage and had a sleeve done. I need my removed and want to talk to someone who has either put a new one in or had the sleeve done in its place. I have to make a big decision.

I had a my band slip and I am going to need to either get it removed, replaced with a new band ,or my doc is talking about doing a sleeve. Has anyone had the sleeve after a band and what is their experience with it.

The one thing that no one said is when you can feel it and know where it is them the Doc can find it better when it comes time to fill or un fill. Also I do kickoxing and get kicked in the stomach sometimes and no one has noticed it, and nothing has happend to it. I have lost around 100 pounds and have kept it off for over a year.

Thanks for the advice. I am hoping that my band is fine. It my buddy.

Can someone tell me if you have a band slippage does that mean you need your band removed. I am having acid reflux and call my Doc today. They are giving me a prescription for previcid. Then my Doc want me to have a test to see if it has slipped. What will I do if they said it has slipped. I a kinda freaking out. I have had my band almost two year and I am at goal loss of 100 pound. I dont want anything to change. Please give me advice or expriences please.

I am having the same issue. I can not eat before bed. I mean several hours before bed. I sometime try and sleep with my head proped up on pillow sitting up. Sometimes I cough and in gose into my lungs. Ifeel sick the whole nexted day. I started takeing medicine to acid reflux and it seem to be getting better. Let me know what you fine out. I am considering calling my Doc.

I had the pain after surgery and sometimes when I eat to much. It does not stay for two long. I think when you complain to a doctor about some of our issues they really dont know. They are surgeons. I wonder how many of them do really keep up with our issues after. I think that is might be air pockets that get up into the shoulder. Iexercise a lot and when I have the pain I move my should and strecht it out.

Lately if I eat a one to two hours before bed time wake up with fluid in my throat and a bit goes into my lungs and makes me cough. So sometimes I go to sleep sitting up. Well the last I went to sleep sitting up the stuff came out my nose. I think that it goes into my lung a make me feel bad for a day. I have can not eat before bed and It is really hard. I was banded almost 1 year and 9 months and was 254 and now I am 156. I think that I am still losing weight and want to stop. I try to eat what ever I want now. I have really good days and some bad days. If I dont eat breakfast of some sort usually my day will go bad. The one thing that saves me is that I exercise. I do it everyday. I just started running. I also do kickboxing. someone let me know about that feeling in my threat.

Yes, if I have a hard time eating for the day I will stop at Taco Bell and have two or three tacos. I have never had a problem eating chip and dip either.

I just want anyone who read this to know that I am do glad that I did the surgery. I was in Arizona for spring break with my kids. I was able to climb Camelback mountaIin twice while I was there. I am 41 years old and have lost 90 pound in the last 1 1/2 years. I work out 5 days a week. I over heard my 13 year old son say he climbed the mountian and the person said he was 39 and never did it. Then my son said well my mom is 41 and she did it. I was so pround on myself and I knew the whole reason for doing the sugery. I can keep up with my children now. I watched my family go up two years ago and I sat at the bottom. I was the best thing I could have done for my self.
