I had my lap band surgery six years ago, and it's never been quite right. I've gone through periods of vomiting, then too little restriction, then too much restriction, depending on my fills and deflations. About a month ago, the mucus buildup became unbearable, and I couldn't eat a thing. My doctor was out of town, so I went to an office he uses on call, and they removed 3ccs of fill. Needless to say, my restriction was non existent, and I went kind of crazy with my eating. When my doctor returned he re-filled 2.5ccs. That was a week ago, and I'm still not feeling any restriction at all. Has this happened to anyone? I'm afraid something damaged my lap band, or it's leaking, but my insurance has changed and the office procedures and prohibitively expensive. Anybody have any ideas???
