    Removal Of My Band

    Hello hunni, I'm having my band out on Monday. I've had it for 8 years and for the last 4 I've been the same as you and no proper food will go down. chocolate and biscuits will go down but Protein and all fruit and veg get stuck. I'm so fed up and have got chronic IBS and I'm sure it's because of the band. I burp all the time and have trapped wind constantly. All people be aware that there has been a study and after 5 years 50% of bands will fail! This is scary stuff, when I got my band I was told it would last over 10 years at least. The last 4 years have been hell!!!! I'm hoping that when I get the band removed there will not be too much damage to my stomach. Sending best wishes on your band removal. xx
  3. Hello all, having my lap band on on Monday 14th may and I'm so happy. I had my band put in 8 years ago in Lyon France, by dr Frering. I lost all the weight needed but had so many problems with fills, the worst was when they overfilled me and couldn't drink water. I had to travel 400 miles to get it unfilled! When I lost the weight I looked good in clothes but the loose skin was terrible and I felt so ashamed. I think I also atrted with an eating disorder and was obsessed with my weight. When I was pregnant with my daughter I had the fluid taken out but still had retriction. Since having her I've not been able to eat anything solid at all. I now live of chocolate, biscuits and soup and have put on half the weight lost. No healthy food will go down at all, I do try but always burp it back up. I should never have had the band, I feel that councilling would have helped. Not being able to eat out with friends and I'm deficient in vitamin D, it's been a hard ride. I'm craving fish now, so can't wait to eat a proper meal and hoping all goes well in my surgery. Isn';t it amazing what we do so we can be thin, now I want to focus on healthy, thats all that matters. Any tips or advice about the surgery would be great. xx
