This sounds similar to mine, however, I knew one and 1/2 year ago that something was wrong, the surgeon kept sayiing it was my fault and to keep following the protocol??? Now he finally says the band became unbuckled. I am trying to find if anyone knows is that a surgeons issue or just a band draw back? I am of course very upset and have gained the whole 8olbs orginally lost. Aggghhhhh!
