Thank you all for the support, it really helps to know that someone else had similar problems.

It was an older band the Realize Adjustable Gastric Band it holds 10 cc of fluid.

I had the band placed 2008. It was placed a little high up and was a small pouch. I had EGD and found that out. but I think it was the heartburn and the vomiting for the last 2 weeks that did it. My thoughts, but I really will never know for sure.

Hi, I like to follow the fourms, but don't post, but I feel that I need to tonight. I just lost my band on Friday, and boy did that hurt not just physically but emotionally too. I meet with my surgeon next week to talk about options. I'm not sure what to do at this stage, just so many questions. I sometimes think I can do this with out the band and then I'm just sure. Anyone else have this problem?
