New Band- Slippage

[ShelleBelle 12]

My 1 year anniversary was on Wednesday.. I had to get a new band on Tuesday because it slipped. I lost 110 pounds since surgery last year but the past 2 months I wasn't sticking to what I was doing and it slipped! It was awful

Do you think it was all down to your eating habits? I'd be inclined to asking for an extra stitch to hold it in place lol x

wishing you well x

Congrats on your weight loss and wishing you more weight loss with your new band.

OMG!! OK I want to know EVERYTHING. How did you figure out the band slipped? Were you not able to eat/ keep anything down OR did you just stop feeling restriction? May I ask what band you have (lap Band or Realize?) I've lost 110 but gained 30 because I haven't felt any restriction...My doc put me up to 11CCs...I'm freaking out here!!!

I'm glad you are good now. What is the main reason why bands slip? I'm curious. Thanks

Ive had the band since March 2011. Lost about 60 pounds first six months. After that it was a constant up and down of 3-5 pounds, Kept going for fills and having to have them taken out after a week or two because of too much restriction / chking feeling. Had endoscopy two weeks ago and found out my band slipped upward. Had it repaired and stitched on Monday, in an emergency surgery. Home recovering this week and hoping that this never happens again. After reading up lots about what makes ppl's bands slip, like eating too much, drinking carbonated beverages and not chewing I dont think I did any of those things. Good luck everyone! Always chew beyond what you think is enough!

My band slipped because I threw up and pb'd too much....I am sure it can happen for other reasons.....my first symptom was reflux....
