Re: What was the cause of your SLIPPAGE?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have to say that is exactly what I have feared since I've been reading about people on this site having slips. Do you know if your surgeon sutured the band? At a recent visit with my surgeon I asked him about slips and he told me that he sutures the band to prevent slips. He said (knock on wood) he hasn't had any slips yet. My surgeon is Dr Michael Lara.
I think if you keep working out and keep your portions small you could keep the weight off and depending how much you work out I think you have a chance in losing more. How much did you lose?
Again I'm sorry, that really is tragic. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Let me know how things go for you. Take care
