    Need some HELP!!! I have a slip!!

    JRFAN88....I am not sure why he did either. And he has not given me any options except for more surgery. I have not been real happy with him. In fact many of times I don't get to see him...his assistance does the fills. My Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-law both went to him. My MIL had a two slips and the 1st one they did surgery and corrected...the second one they removed her band completely. But he did not seem concerned about it when he gave me the fill but when I went back he told me no. I have not thrown up as you suggested and like my MIL did. I think it is just time to find a new Dr.
  5. I got my band in 2006. And I did really well and lost 100lbs. I still had about 75lbs to go. Then in November of 2007 I got pregnant! I actually lost weight during my pregnancy and 6 weeks after my son was born I was down 10lbs. Then I started gaining weight so I went to get a fill. My Dr. told me I had a slip but gave me a fill anyways. I had terrible heartburn for about 2 weeks but then I was back to eating normal. It did not fill like I had any resistance at all. My son is now 22 months old and I have gained 40lbs in the last 2 years. I went back to the Dr to have another fill and was told I had to have the slip fixed first. My insurance did not pay for my band and it does not pay for my fills. I contacted them about my slip and they will not pay for that either. I can't afford to pay for surgery again but I also can't afford to continue to gain weight. I am getting really depressed about the whole situation. I worked really hard to lose the weight and now I am gaining it all again! Does anyone have any suggestions?
