Banded Feb 2010. Did well initially, but after the first fill things went down hill. Every time i had a fill within 2-4 weeks i would start vomiting.Every fill i had was taken back out and weight loss became little to nothing After I got new insurance which woulfd cover removal band and doing a sleeve I made the decision to have it done in one surgery.
