My lap band has slipped and the doctors will only offer removing it. Is there a non surgical option instead?

I have a slipped lap band and the doctors will only remove it because my BMI is 23. I don't want to live with out it!!!! is there anything i can do? such as stretches, exercising. I have been eating soft/ mushie food since I found out.
