anybody have a slip fixed by surgery?

[Bell1138 1]

My band slipped and I had it repaired about a month ago. It was horrible, I could not get anything down. I went to the hospital on a Saturday because I was not able to keep Water down, I was operated on Thursday. It was the worst few days of my life. I saw the x ray of the upper GI, and my stomach had prolapsed over the band, it was very strange. We also found out, that my esophagus it a bit dialated. I have lost a total of 70lbs. with no Fluid in the band. Since day 1, I have had restriction with the fills. I don't know why, not even my doctor can explain it. The repair was very easy, and I recovered almost immediately.

Wow same here Bell, my stomach had prolapsed also, i agree it was the worst few hours of my life, i went right to hospital had surgery the next am.

So sorry you had to deal with it for days, awww i do know the pain. So u never got stuck, it just happened? and do you have fills now?

Im almost back to new, gave me a 4cc fill and i fill fine, i will admit im scared to eat,but my dr said that i had no problems b4 , and he is right.

Do you know if your surgeon stiched your tummy over your band to keep it in place?

It' a weird tight feeling, but I guess I'm use to it buy now.

Hi Melissa! Very very weird but I had the same doctor and the same exact thing happen to me - i got stuck on a piece of tofu (serious - not a cookie tofu) and had emergency surgery at Bon Secors. I was banded in March and then had the repair done in May. Do you go to the meeting there?

Do they repair laporscopticly?

In my case, yes it was done lapriscopically (sp). My initial banding was a single incision thru my belly button, but for the repair with it was norm 6 small holes
