Too Many Complications???

[keydi9975 0]

I have had my band for 13 months now and have had some complications or more problems since banding than prior.

I have had:

• hemmeroid banding 6 times
  
• anal fistula
  
• diagnosed with
  
  • IBS
    
  • sleep apnea
    
  • PCOS
    

  [*]Gallbladder pain & removal

  [*]gastritis issues before & after banding

  [*]Dehydration

I have been asked why my band hasn't been removed after gallbladder removal. I even had it recently put in my upper endoscopy report that "We will discuss further treatment options at this time including possible reverse of her gastric band procedure" :thumbup:

When I read this I feel like I worked so hard lost 50 lbs and had to have a total unfill since I have been having alot of nausea & vomitting issues 9 days straight with several times a day. I feel like I am a big letdown.

Please let me know if I am not alone in this battle.

You're certainly not alone, and the band just isn't right for everyone unfortunately.

If you look around in complications, you'll see that it just doesn't work right for all.

I'm sorry you're going through that, and though I don't specifically know about it causing all of those things I definitely feel for you.

Keep in touch with your doctor to find out what they think you need to do, if they think the band is causing your body all of these complications, it would be better to take care of it sooner than later. Don't let them, let you, slip through the cracks.
