I had my original surgery in 2008 and lost about 80 pounds. Over the past few years, I slowly gained 35 pounds. I have had issues that went on for 2-3 years like not being able to eat after like 5 pm and having to sleep basically sitting up or propped up in bed with several pillows. I recently went to my primary care doc and told her about my issues and she said I should see a gastroenterologist. I did that and he sent me the next day to have a barium swallow. Within an hour after having the procedure, they called me and told me to go see my lap band doc because my lap band had slipped. They said they were waiting on me to get there. I had not been to see him in probably 4 years or so. He said that the band had slipped. He took all of the Fluid out and said that I needed surgery. It was scheduled for 2 days later (Jan 23, 2015). He said he may not be able to save it but he would try. Luckily, he did save the band. I went back for my first fill 3 weeks later. He put 2 cc's in a 10 cc band. Before all this happened I had 7 cc's. I couldn't even tell that he added anything and I was always hungry and eating way too much. I just went back today for another fill and got 3 cc's added. It seem really tight! I had already gained 10 more pounds in 3 weeks! I sure hope this time it works and I can start losing weight. I need to lose like 50 pounds now.
