I had lapband about 4 years ago...everything was great until about a year ago...I all of a sudden seemed too restricted...Dr. took some out after barium swallow test...and all was great for about 3 months...then again same thing....after another test took some out...then again a little later same symtoms...Dr. took all Fluid out...did another swallow test...said all looked fine....now I can't eat most days...broth only....Been to Gastro Dr. says its prob lap band....Lap band Dr. says it seems fine....I have wasted more money over and over finding out NOTHING!!! Even Gastro Dr. says band seems to be in place....I do not want to have the band out...just want to be fixed...My insurance has changed and now coveres nothing to do with the band...but if its necessary what will they do...can they just fix the band??????

I had the surg. 4 months ago.....I am doing great except my hair is falling out!!!!! I am taking Protein (at least 40g a day extra) and it is not helping. How soon should I see results from the protein additive and if its soon what can I do to stop this....I have always had thick long pretty hair and now I am really worried....HELP:omg:

My Dr. is not on call today and did not return my calls... the Dr. that is on call does not do this surgery...all he can do is put me in the hospital and treat the symptoms..I would rather know what is causing this..I am not taking pain meds...when I say sick...I get nauseated...I start to throw up but nothing comes up...just loud burp-like dry heaves....but the gas pain is pretty much constant...

I had my surgery on wednesday....I cant eat...I am having too much gas and I get sick at the thought of food...I used to have ulsers and it feels like I do again..3 sips and I am sick...my Dr. is out what can I do
