My Band Slipped!

[twinmomleb 3]

Just told today, what I already feared... My band has slipped. Been 1 yr post op this week and down 60 lbs. I felt like I was making slow but steady progress. My Dr told me he has never had an i-band slip before. Anyone else out there had this happen?

How do you know without the Dr saying it that your band has slipped. I mean does it feel weird .I know others have lots of problems with reflux and vomiting did that happen to you?/

An I band is a lap band with a plication. My clue was that over night I literally couldn't keep anything down, not even ice. It was out of the blue, and not after a fill.

I'm so sorry. Hopefully you can get the slip fixed quickly.

I'm very sorry to hear this. What is the plan now? Are you on liquids to try to let it go back into place, or do you need more surgery?
