Any re-bandsters here? Had to have replacement band?

LapBandFan · April 13, 2005

I am a re-bandster and was curious if there are others here. I had my first band placed Feb 2004 and it slipped in January 2005 and had replacement Feb 2005. Would like to have a place for questions and discussions here on this board for just such folks (rebandsters) like myself.

Thanks,

Vera got rebanded while when we met in Mexico a few weeks ago. We fondly refer to her as DBV (double banded Vera)...maybe she can share her experiences.

Leatha, too - because of a slip.

Hi Brenda,

I'd love to see your pics...I don't have any yet but i'm going to do one month post pics at the end of the month.

Hi Brenda,

me too. Banded in Nov 04, rebanded sept 05 after my band slipped. I would also like to know more about other's experiences with the second band. If you just kept going from where you were or had a major setback (like me- got out of control again).

all the best
