Lapband 09/20/2012. I just had a upper GI and found that I have a slip on 10/28/14. I think this lapband slipped last year in 2013 about March but my doctor would not perform any testing procedure despite my complaints. I finally went to a new doctor because I was not happy and have been at a scale stall for one year despite regular exercise and one cup meal plan.

I am going to the new lapband doctor to see what can be done. I would like the revision to the sleeve so that means going for an approval with my insurance company.

I am down 55 lbs and have 25 to goal. I have a BMI of 28 and weight is about 158-160lbs and I am 5.2" tall

some slips can be corrected by going on liquids for 2 weeks and 2 weeks of soft with a unfill of the band. I had a small slip that corrected itself. don't be surprised if your insurance company requests this. good luck I hope you get what you want.

Update as of 12/12/14. After a Upper GI fluroscopy to view my band-nothing is slipped. I have my band with a 7.5 cc in my band. After I had my last unfill I have not restriction and I am hungry all the time. I have not lost any weight in 2014. I am still doing my fitness 1-2 hours per day 6 days and keeping my calories at 1000 per day.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
