After having my lap band for almost 8 years now on friday the doctor said it has slipped. i got totally unfilled and i need to get surgery to put it back in place. did anyone ever have to do this too? i have had severe heartburn for over 2 months and since 2 weeks i couldnt eat anything anymore and had severe pain right after i did eat a teaspoon of joghurt or pudding :(

Not to me but to many others. Is your doctor re-positioning it or replacing it?

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

If you search here and the failed band group you can find many that had slips.  Most have the band removed now.  Hope all works out well for you.
