I am on obesityhelp too, that is where I have most of my posts.

everyone experiences rollercosters... the most important is to keep looking at our goals.

I was also a victim of Dr. Huacuz a few years ago and had to have it removed and then converted into a mini bypass in the US. My band slipped shortly after the surgery because it was not implanted corre ctly. Also my port was on top of my belly button, which was very uncomfortable. I called him several times but he was not very available. He suggested I was to go back to him to have another band placed but I was afraid. I feel fine now....

Huacuz???? you brave souls !!! I would choose abyone else ....

I am not a band patient, I have a mini gastric bypass 8 months ago, the band did not work for me, I had a slipage probably because I am only 5'2'' and the band my Dr. placed on me was huge. I cannot blame him for that but the slippage occured about 10 weeks after placement. I then decided to go through the mini gastric bypass and I had it done in Arizona.

Utahband you are probably traumatized with all that happened to you. Why did you have the first band removed? who is your surgeon? I hope you feel better. I had a bit of nausea as well but I feel great now, it has been 8 months and I have lost 55 lbs.
