  4. Hi, I'm new here. Here's some information about myself. I had the lapband procedure in November 2005. I weighed 226 on the day of the procedure and lost 55 pounds before I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in October, 2006. Everything was going fine, had to have my fill taken out due to chemo and radiation nausea, but still gained 5 - 7 lbs due to radiation. To make a long story short, I have been cancer free for 1 year this past May. I started feeling very little restriction about 6 weeks ago and went to have a fill a couple of weeks ago. Still felt no restriction, went in today to check for a leak at port site and was told by my surgeon that had aneurisymal dilation of the band. Now the band will have to removed and replaced. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I paid $15,000 cash and I can't believe I have to go through the whole procedure again and I'm not sure of the cost. Any information on this I would greatly appreciate. I wanted this to be a lifelong journey, not just for 2 years. :crying:
