maldonado46435 19 Posted July 14, 2016 Hi I had the lap band for 1 year lost 88lbs and happy but had a slippage now I'm going in to take the band out and get the sleeve. Any similar stories please post . Super anxious and exited not to have to go in for fills anymore. And worry about a slippage anymore. Please help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
