freespirit63 112 Posted October 21, 2012 Hi everyone I too had a band since 2008 which was finally removed in July due to slippage - now have to start all over again! Surgery is scheduled for November 12 with Dr. Aceves. Is it common for a slip over few years? My band was in 2009. So far so good but I only have 2.2 cc cause any more and I have troubles.

mausi 7 Posted October 21, 2012 Is it common for a slip over few years? My band was in 2009. So far so good but I only have 2.2 cc cause any more and I have troubles. Not sure what the statistics are, but I know quite a few that had/have problems with their band two or three years in, after initially doing great with it. I was successful with my band for about 2 years, but it came with many restrictions in foods I could tolerate without getting stuck. One day my band acted up and closed shut for no reason and I've had problems ever since. Having the band unflled over a year ago did not help much, most days I still had problems getting liquids down - but at the same time managed to pick up weight again - thanks to slider foods :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeannette 8 Posted October 30, 2012 Good Morning all. I have a lapband but researching a conversion to VS. A friend of mine is going to TJ to have a VS. I am here to support her and find others who are going at the same time. She will have Dr Fernando Garcia as a surgeon and today she will get a date. I am going to Mexico with her. I had plastic surgery done with Dr Carmina Cardenas and she does have a Bariatric surgeon on staff Dr Filipe Garcia. The reason my friend did not pick him is lack of information on here about him. He performed VS on Dr Cardenas and her assistant. Believe or not, they only had 20-30 pounds to loose. They did it for life maintenance. With that said, her sugery will be around first week of November November roll Mikeross.....................Nov 2.......Dr Garcia 920Amy......................Nov 3.......Dr Garcia Mbabercrombie..........Nov 3.......Dr.Lopez Leelee93.....................Nov 5.....Dr Garcia AngeleyesinNJ............Nov 7......Dr Garcia Binipkey......................Nov 8......Dr Garcia Nursedel......................Nov 9......Dr Garcia Mikeross.....................Nov 9......Dr Garcia CHUM.........................Nov12.....Dr Ponce TiffanyD......................Nov 13....Dr A Ortiz Jjones10669................Nov16....Dr Osuna Puerto V PattyS..........................N0v16...Dr Lopex PV Buckeyegirl40.............Nov 30th ..Dr. Alvarez Me and my husband on Nov 6...Dr Garcia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
