Hi, I also had my lap band surgery in 2004. I had moderate weight loss due to restriction and vomiting. I had only one fill the smallest amount they could do. I never went back for help because I felt like a failure and I was not willing to give up the band out of fear of gaining even more weight. Earlier this year I had the band emptied. Now I have gained 20 plus pounds. I want a revision but I'm worried they will not approve it because I have a bmi of 30. Do you have any advice?
Starting 230lbs
After band 155lbs
1 year 165
2nd 175
now 197
