I got sick during the summer and I was given medicine that made me vomit. By the time I figured out that there was a problem, the slippage was too much to fix. The doctor said that this was rare and I had to wait 6 months to heal. You should not be too concerned. The Lapband is the best thing that has happened to me. It is a tool that works for my lifestyle and eating issues. I am sure that you will do fine. I am just nervous.
