Does anyone know what happens if your band slips. I have been banded since Oct 2010 and have lost over 5 stones. As i already said i havent had a fill since lastt feb. Suddenly at christmas i could not eat even pureed food without it sticking and if i try to eat anything i have to bring it up as the pain is horrible and being sick is the only way to feel better I can only take cup a Soups. My doc is not in glasgow till 10th feb Would he just unfill some of do you need to an xray to check for slip. I was banded in Belgium and self funded Where would i get the x ray? Can anyone help?

If u cant eat u need to go to your GP or the local A and E .. Even tho you had it done privately our NHS still has a duty of care for anyone with health problems whether they are a result of private surgery or not. If they refuse to help you i would insist that they do or make a complaint to your local health authority or health trust. The NHS is looking to fund all those revisions for those breast implants that have been in the news recently and your surgery wasnt even cosmetic. You still are under the NHS whatever your had done .. good luck smile.png

Where are you located ?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
