Hi,
I am new on this website but thought it would be a good place to try to ask some questions. I had my lapband done in April 2008. I had it done at the Hospital Angelos in Tiajuana, Mexico. I had the first fill done about 3 months after (5cc). I was losing weight pretty good. I lost about 40 lbs in about 9 months since I got it done. Then I plateaued and did not lose anything at all for about 6-8 months so I went in to get it adjusted. I had originally 5 cc in, they put 7 in. When I had only 5 in there, I could eat pretty much whatever I liked, no problems whatsoever. When they put 7 in there, I had more trouble eating, I could definitly tell it was there and it stopped me from eating so much. The problem is, I gained back 30 lbs in less than 3 weeks!!! Since then, I have been struggling to get that weight back off again. I went back to the Dr a few months later (couldn;t get in for an appt) and tried to put more in put had problems with it. Dr took everything out and told me I needed to go to get a flouroscopy. Did that, long story short, now I have only 5 cc in there again and I can't eat anything! If I eat more than a few bites, it comes right back up! Never had that problem before. Even worse, it has been over 3 weeks now and I have not lost anything!!! I can;t go to the Dr til I get home which will be at least another week and I doubt I will be able to get an appt for a while longer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong????? I am getting incredibly frustrated with all this, I had such high hopes that I would finally be able to lose some weight. Now I am thinking this might turn out to be just another failure. Has anyone else had such problems getting the right fit for the band to work right???
