Well I was also told today after several struggles with not being able to eat and losing to much weight that my band has slipped. I am not happy with this because this has been the only way I was able to loose the 90 lbs and i do not want to gain it back, So now I will have to have my band removed on Tuesday I am so dissappointed. This started back in April when i wasnt able to eat and was vomiting I went to have some fluid took out and then progressivly was still unable to eat maybe a few bites at a time so the moral of the story be careful if you have prob get them addressed I tryed

lynnkat03 replied to daco525's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgey on 6-19-09 the gas is terrible the pain meds really didnt help I think really time is the best explanation for the gas I had a diagnotic lap several yrs ago the same prob, couple days it was alright Hope you do well with yours good luck -
Well today i had my lapband done almost 12 hours later i feel good except for the gas pains not good but even that is almost gone just feel like my journey will start today
