Band slippage....

[tw42 12]

Went to Dr today can't keep drink my Protein Drink down, cant really keep anything down. Having heartburn when I lay down at night acid reflux

He did an X-ray band has slipped....

He took out more Fluid then said make appt for next week see if it goes back.

Anybody have this problem did it go back on its own or did u have to have surgery?

I have a crazy question. My band slipped so my physician took all the Fluid out to see if this would fix the problem. We'll I had to have a lower back X-ray and the radiologist thought I had a vp shunt. In reality what he was seeing was my lapband cord!!! My surgeon says this can happen and nothing to worry about? Has anyone else had their band show up on a lower back X-ray?

Don't know what type of device you post from but on a PC you can see that only 4 people follow this thread including you and me. To get more eyes on your issue you should start your own thread/topic where hundreds of eyes will see.

I am in the same boat, however, the unfill didn't work. I go into surgery tomorrow morning to reposition the band.

Just had an unfill and my band slipped back into place. However, I've noticed that since then I am much more sensitive. I feel tighter when I am on my period, when I have a runny nose, or just about anytime I'm not at 100%. Not a big deal I just need to pay attention. My doctor has also told me it is more apt to slip again once it has slipped the first time. Gosh I hope not, that was miserable.
