LAP-BAND Patients

  1. I have had my lap band since Sept 2008. Since having the lap band I have had more days than i have not of vomitting. When I express these concerns to my extremely emotionless/insensitve surgeon, he loosens it. But after not eating for so long, as soon as i'm able i blow back up again, diet or not. So its a cycle of getting fills and unfills. I'm currently only able to hold food down every three days. And while i'm not hungry/ starving I get dizzy spells every so often. I'm avoiding getting another unfill because 1) I'm very happy with my weight. Im 11 pounds under my target, and I know that will be demolished once it gets loosened and 2) My dr. has threatened that if i get another unfill he wont fill it back because of the fill/ unfill cycle i have. He insist that i have vomitting issues because I eat too fast, but there are days when I wake up and take a sip of Water and it comes up. What should I do? Or does anyone have similar issues of some sort? Any response is welcome thanks, Kendra
