Band slippage

Has anyone experienced thier band slip? If so what caused it and what did you have to do afterward? More surgery? I'm so terrified of this as I don't have any more money left for another trip to the operating table...

What kind of symptoms do you have that makes you think that your band has slipped? My band had a minor slip a few months ago. My dr put way too much Fluid in on a fill, and i took a big swig of Water. My pouch became inflammed. He drained some of the Fluid out but the following two days i kept getting mid back pains. So I called him back and he emptied my band for a month. Now i am back to being filled and losing more weight.

I am not sure of symptoms, but my surgeon says that because of my hiatial hernia repair there is a greater chance of band slippage due to the altertion, but it is not a certain thing, so just praying that does not happen.

I am not going to sit around and worry about it, I just like to take everything day by day.

Betty, just try to relax...I kinda felt that way yesterday, I took my temp and it said 98.3 so I started to freak, but after replacing the battery and taking temps of all three people in the house, including myself, finding out we all had a temp around 98 I was so much more relaxed.

My surgeon tells us to call at any hour, even if in the middle of the night. Of course, I wouldn't want to disturb for some unfoundedreason, but if you re really concerned you should write all your questions out nd call your surgeon's office and get them nswered, even if to just make yourself feel better, b/c stress is never good!
