I am here because I had lapband surgery in 2009 by Dr. Elhor. He put the band up to high so all I did was puke. All he kept doing was filling my band more so I puked even more. He is the worse doctor. I would never recommend him. I seen Dr. G and he had to put a new lapband in after he removed the old one. I was sick with bronchitis so he removed all of the fluid because I had so much phlegm. I am now back seeing Dr. G and starting slow with fills. I still have a lot of phlegm which causes me to puke a lot. Yes I drink plenty of water. I have not lost any weight off this surgery. I would not recommend it to anyone. I don't know what I am doing wrong but nothing has worked. It really stinks. I am actually thinking of having it removed since it doesn't seem to be working. I am going to get a couple more fills if it doesn't help I am way over this. This lapband surgery is a nightmare!!!!!!!!! Feeling very upset.
