I just had another banding done and the band fell off about 6 hours after the procedure. The last time I had banding done it fell off after about a day and a half after the procedure. Because of this I preemptively took miralax and colace the day before the procedure to make sure bowel movements were easy. That didn't seem to help at all. I'm so frustrated! The office schedules months out for banding appointments, and even though it's an easy procedure, it's a lot for me to schedule time off work to get this done only for it to fail within hours after the procedure. I made sure this time around that I had extra time off just so I could take a lot of stool softeners and laxatives to make sure it didn't pop off prematurely. And then there is the cost of the appointment on top of that. I don't know if I did anything wrong or what. I did not strain at all. I just felt the urge to go and sat on the toilet. I gently dabbed with a wet wipe to wipe afterwards and that is when the band popped off. I'm assuming this is way too early for the banding to be effective. Has anyone else have bands pop off prematurely?
