Just wanted to know if any other sucess stories have experienced what I am now experiencing. I lost over 170lbs with the lap band but got down way below my goal weight. I went back to the doctor for an adjustment & they emptied the band completely. Since then I have had a tremendous amount of swelling in my lower body & a significant weight gain (50lbs in 4 weeks). The nurse told me it was just something I would have to put up with for several months as my body readjusted. Has anybody else had these complications?
