Band Too High - Slipped

[laurawls]

Ive had problems ever since I had the band fitted 2 years ago. Finally I have found out my band has been fitted either too high or it has slipped..... Has anyone else ever had this? What does it mean? What happens now?

Hi Laura
Mine slipped but downwards I had a reposition but I then developed oesophagul problems so have recently converted to a sleeve. Is it giving you problems as it is? Xx

 

[laurawls]

Yes. Everything I eat feels stuck (band is empty) after numerous tests it was confirmed it sits too high so there is no pouch and this apparently makes the food feel stuck.

Oh dear thats not good I was opposite to you I had an enlarged pouch have they made any suggestions as to what they can do? Xx

 

[laurawls]

Back next Wednesday to hear what my options are ? xx
