I think it depends. How did your band slip? Did the band come lose and move or has your stomach prolapsed through it? What caused the slip?

A prolapse is when your stomach kind of "flops over" the band. If the band has slid down on your stomach, it most likely needs to be repositioned. Or, if it's caused damage to your stomach or nerves, it should be removed before it causes more damage.

Does the Xray show where the band is currently? I doubt it has come loose.

My first band slipped and twisted my stomach, causing obstruction. It was repositioned. It slipped again not long after. Then it was removed. Thankfully.

So had my slipped band unfilled for 3-4weeks. ..n Monday my doc put a small fill in.....n I have some restriction but will probably need just a little more..... she believes I will not need a reposition surgery .....so far I am good...no heartburn or stuckness
