Ok the pain that i have been feelin for a couple of weeks now, its a pain where my band is i have only have 1 fill and its been a while, because i am soon deciding to take it off since i have been going to the gym and seeing results MAJOR!!! but anyways i was wondering what this pain is, Slippage? Erosion?

Have you been doing sit ups in all this booty kicking at the gym? I suspect it's not your band you are feeling, it's the port that is sewn into the muscle. You are less than a year out, you might have pulled at it a little bit. I doubt you have a slip because you don't report bad reflux or lots and lots of PB'ing or a total loss of restriction.

Also...why would you get the band taken out? You seem to be doing so well now and it seems like if you don't like it you can have your fill taken out without having another surgery so soon after the first.

Just curious.

A lot of people gain after having the band taken out.I was told it is for life unless you slip,, erode or have acid reflux problems.
