I'm confused.....

Was there a band placed at all? Did it "break off"? Was it just laying there next to your stomach? Did he band something else? This is incredible!

I'm sorry that you're having to go through this fiasco....but once you get a band placed properly, you'll start living a new life and enjoy the benefits that the band provides.

Good luck to you!

Dr Fielding is indeed a premiere band surgeon. I think you'll be in great hands! So sorry you're having to do this twice, but you'll find it's still very minor compared to problems that can occur with gastric bypass. In the end, all will work out for you!

I'm really glad you got a lawyer, and I hope you contacted Inamed also.

Good luck with your surgery!

Inamed Corporation is the manufacturer of the only band currently approved for use in the United States. Their website is www.inamed.com, and the person to contact there for just about any issue is Don Mills, don.mills@inamed.com.

Budha, I am really sorry you're having such problems but now that you're in the care of Dr. Fielding you'll be in great hands! He's very well respected and I've heard nothing but good things.

I just went to see him last week. He does teenagers. He is performing surgery on my 16 yr old on 4/1. I have heard nothing but good things about him. When I met him I felt real comfortable letting my daughter experiance and have the success I have.

Does anyone here have a teenager that went through the surgery, or know of a website. I would like her to do some reading before surgery.

Laura, you might want to start a new thread about banding teenagers. Not many people are likely to see it here.

Nice to hear from you!! I've been wondering how you're doing, fellow Jersey girl! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
