I was banded on 12/2/08. From the start, I hated it. I always had pain in my port site and under my ribs. I threw up food at almost every meal. If I over ate, the band felt like it was pulling my port. I only lost 40 pounds over 3years, despite trying to follow the program. Then I gave up and had my fill removed completely and on 12/4/13, had the band removed.
In 3 short months I became diabetic, was back on blood pressure pills and was in pain from too much weight and what my doctor says is fibromyalgia.
On 4/30/14 I got the gastric sleeve. So here we go again.
