Had my lapband removed 3 months ago due to complications. I had my band for 7 years and did Achieve my gaol weight. 5 of those years everything went well, the last 2 years was a living hell. The last 2 years I found my band was so unpredictable, one day I could eat anything, the next day I could not eat at all. I had tests done and got very few answers from the out come. I had trouble getting answers, the few I did get were, "it has to come out I can do it Friday", "the band is not for everyone", "you made me work hard as the band had bond fast to the stomach". Before my lapband was removed my surgeon tried to sale me another one. While in hospital getting tests done, before the removal, I met a few people who are on there 2 and 3rd bands. I was really surprise. I decided not to buy another lapband as "it's not for everyone". A week ago today I had a gastric sleeve surgery done. My surgeon said it took twice as long as normal because the stomach was badly damaged from the lapband. Spent 4 nights in hospital. Everythings good now. I am really really happy and today being week one I have lost 5kg. But remember "it may to not be for everyone".

Interesting, I never realised that. It's a lot to go through every 5 years. I see your doing well, keep up the great work:-)

Thanks for your reply, but sadly I have still have no answers other than what I've posted. I am thinking a surgeon can be held accountable these day so the less they say the better for them.

Maybe l am not drinking enough fluids as I am not putting very much in my mouth at all these days. I will concentrate drink more more over the next few weeks and see how l go. Thanks, P.S I hope its not old age as l'm looking hot of the 1st time since i was 8teen and would like to use it heaps.
