This is so much my story!!! I origanilly was banded July 2007 and had lost 90# to reach 155# . In August of 2011 I started to notice that I gained back my appitite and slowly put back on almost all the weight I had lost. I was scared to go back for fear that they would take out my band and I would not be able to get it replaced. Long story short I went in and they descovered by some trial and error that my tubing had broke. I had surgery to fix that, then I developed infection in that incision. They made the decision to remove my band and let my heal for 2 months. I went back for a 3rd surgery to replace the band and now 2 months out and with 6.5 cc I am finally restriction like I should. I had lost about 7 pounds in the first 2 months but am now in the 1 to 1.5 # a week area. I still have a long road to get back to 155# but I will return!!
