Today I went to my Doctor after one year of problems with my band. He told me I had three choices 1- take out my band 2-put in a new one 3- get the sleeve So i wanted to know if any one out there has had to make this choice. I would also like input from you guys Thanks Jewel

Let me try this again. My story is alittle different. Last week I had to have them take out all my fill due to not being able to keep food down and having so many problems this last year. Well it has been so much better for me since then. I think my stomach needed to heal. So don't bee afraid just be careful of what you eat. Give your body some time to heal.

I have had my band for one year. Before the surgry i went ot ww to lose some weight. I lost 32lb. My doctor was very happy. My surgry went well. The last few months have been very hard. I have only lost around 13lb since my band. I do not know whay i have had so many problems with throwing up blood and not keeping anything dwon. So tomorrow i am having them take out the 5cc i have and i am going to try following ww for a while and see how that goes.

You need to go in for a unfill to get the food down so you dont do any damage

I had my surgry on Thursday was back to work the following monday. It was fine really just needed one good day of rest Good Luck

My Question is for Brain I was told not to drink proten drinks after a few weeks I stopped loosing. It has been several months. Just since finding this web site have I started learning more about proten drinks. Can you tell me more you sound like you know what your talking about.

Hi I had my lap band in March of last year. I have had many of the same struggles even throwing up blood. Had my band checked to see if it had slipped nothing. So i had some taken out and started weight watchers also. I couldnt eat enough points. So i have just tried to start over with protein drinks and what food i can eat i eat slowly. There is a good book out there to read Weight Loss Surgery by Robert Swewell and Linda Rohrbough. Please feel free to e-mail me at jcolell@msn.com because you sound just like my story.
