I had my lap band placed in 2010. I have lost and gained a lot of weight. Sometimes, no restriction, sometimes with extreme. I also had all my fluid emptied by one Dr because of emergency and then my regular Dr removed 4.5cc and it was yellow. She then added 1.5 for a total of 6cc. I can home in terrible pain ended up returning and when the Dr went to pull all fluid out he was only able to remove 1cc. So where there was 6cc and it was slightly yellow now there is 1cc. I dont understand. I keep having a pulling and pinching on my left side. The radiologist said that the tubing inside was too long and could maybe causing a bend or kink in it. It has also been said that the metal at the top of band could have eroded at the place it joined. Has anyone had a similar situation? I am lost and debating on having the lap band removed and gastric sleeving.

I have made an second opinion appt. I just feel awful all the time and the concerns I have the dr just say oh I don’t know why.

I was banded the same day. I have been on clear liquids. I am just now venturing into full liquids. I wasnt really given a diet to go by. The things that i have read here have helped. Thanks everyone. :sneaky:
