Yes, I had the Lap Band nearly 9 years ago, and my cumulative weight loss is 0.0lbs. Not a typo. Now I'm in the midst of going in for a sleeve and hopefully getting it right this time. So far, all of my experiences have been negative, and after nine years, I'm in a position to know.

I just recently had a lapband to sleeve revision done, all in one surgery. The lapband was a huge waste of time and money for me. I had it in for 7 years and I'm so glad to be rid of it and actually on the way to a healthier me.

Wow, those are some significant injuries, I'm sorry to hear that. I had a lot of issues with my lap band and had it removed last June. The band made t hard to eat good foods like broccoli, spinach and lean Protein yet it was easy to eat crunchy carbs. I had much better weight loss results prior to band surgery and when the band was unfilled. Hope your appointment answers some questions for you.

It's my fault really but I couldn't exercise and just sat in the recliner. My surgeon God love him passed away, I'm going to see new one. Same nurse says maybe u need Fluid out. I think they already did that. But now my insurance doesn't cover anything to do with lapband. I asked what if I have situation where had to come out, cause I'm always throwing up. Can't enjoy any food or going out to eat. Not whining just wish I could have it out. Will ask tomorrow. Thanks for listening. Just worried with new insurance what if something was wrong and they wouldn't cover me

Get it out! they can do permanent damage. I revised to RNY (self pay) and would do it ten times over. wish i'd just saved myself the 11 years of torture and done it years ago.

I went in to my doctor and played up how painful my port was and he was able to get my insurance to cover the removal/revision after years of being denied.

My band was removed in Feb. And my vsg will be on Nov. 1
