Band Slippage



Recommended Posts

Has anyone out there personally had to deal with slippage of the band if so how did you know it slipped and what was your final outcome. I have some concerns and just wanted to know.

Oh I just got myself SOOOO distracted! I can't stay on the 'puter No Mo'! But please hit the Search button on the blue bar above and type in slippage. Once you wade through it all, you will find info...I started wading and wandered all over this board, now I goota run. Happy searching Jones!

What symptoms are you having? I had confusing, seemingly contradictory symptoms...increased restriction, reflux, but at times I would have decreased restriction with delayed emptying of the pouch. I did not know my band had slipped until getting an upper GI. I had to have surgery again, and the surgeon removed the slipped band (which was a Midband) and replaced it with a LapBand. I am getting my first fill in my new band on Friday!
