Mrsdw206 40 Posted November 1, 2012 Not sure what the statistics are' date=' but I know quite a few that had/have problems with their band two or three years in, after initially doing great with it. I was successful with my band for about 2 years, but it came with many restrictions in foods I could tolerate without getting stuck. One day my band acted up and closed shut for no reason and I've had problems ever since. Having the band unflled over a year ago did not help much, most days I still had problems getting liquids down - but at the same time managed to pick up weight again - thanks to slider foods :ph34r:[/quote'] Slider foods....uggghhhh I'm in the same boat as you. Band in 2007 lost 100 lbs, slip in 2011 and gained 100lbs. My sleeve date is November 14th and I'm very excited but somewhat disappointed with the thought of starting over. I followed my band diet religiously. I was happy with the results then the problems started. I'm looking forward to this journey but the lingering disappointment still lingers on.....

allnewme 262 Posted November 2, 2012 Hi Can you tell me how is Doctor is he? I'm doing research for that doctor Can you call me 818)9673700 my name is Nune. How much you paying? I went to Dr. Alvarez, had my surgery 3 months ago today. He is an awesome surgeon, he takes very good care of his patients. He is more money, but worth every dime.
