hi shayshay,I dont want to discurrage you at any cost but I have signed in to verticalsleeve.com and looked at the friends on there that had the lapband and they had it takes out and was approved to get the sleeve surgery done,I don't have any yet and I hace my canceltation tomarrow Jan 10th so I am gonna ask to see why I am kinda confused but I am leaning more now towards the sleeve,I see where you can eat what you want with in reason,there is a hunger protein that is in the lower part of the stomach and when you get the sleeve that part is cut so when you eat you have to remind your self that it is time to eat...I read a lot of info and it sounds pretty good...go and take a look and see what you think...camille01

Have you talked to your doctor. Maybe it's not band related.

I don't know anyone who has complained about this situation. Perhaps you are having a reaction to something else? Have you been to the doctor - either your surgeon or your primary? After 18 months I can't imagine it has anything to do with your band. I wish you luck in finding out what is going on. Please come back and post so we all will know.

I HAVE TALKED TO A GIRL IN MY DOCS OFFICE, SHE HAD LOST ALL HER WEIGHT. THEN SHE ASKED THE DOC TO REMOVE IT AFTER KEEPING HER WEIGHT OFF FOR OVER 1YR.. SO THE DOC REMOVED THE BAND. 3 MONTHE LATER AHE WAS BACK TO ASK TO BE REBANDED. SHE TOLD ME YOU CAN'T BELIVE HOW MUCH MORE FOOD YOU CAN EAT WITHOUT THE BAND. SHE HAS GAINED 20 POUNDS IN 2MOS. SO, MY VOTE WOULD BE NO NO NO DON'T DO IT.
