Can The Lap Band Be Revised Due To Slippage?
I have a lap band I have had it for 6 yrs I have lost 200lbs, 3 months after my original surgery I had to have a revision because of slippage, my band has slipped once again and my new bariatric doctor has informed me I can not have it revised a second time? Is this true?

Hi,
The condition can identified only after doing a scan. if the bariatric doctor has confirmed that the band has slipped with a confirmed test then you can take a second opinion before further decision.
