  1. Hi IndioGirl! You really seemed to know what you are talking about any I am new with the lapband and this site. I was only a little over 58 pounds overweight when I decided to leap headfirst into the radio ads for lapbands. $15,000, extreme pain and little to no weight loss 6 weeks later, I am feeling really desperate about my situation. My husband on the other hand has a gastric bypass 8 years ago - lost 336 pounds and the a lap band and lost another 85 pounds. As for me, my port area is painful and bulging, my weight is not going down and I can barely wear anything tight as I get post surgery pains around my stomach. My doctor has been VERY slow to fill my band as I am terrible about the restriction - I freak out. Therefore, I may consider takinh it out. Do you know or have anyone that has removed the lapband or experiencing ongoing pain with the port area and not achieving ANY weight loss in any capacity?
