BTW I called these guys, they want me to pay $5000 and I will be able to adjust it as much as I want. This is BS. It is 100% commercialized. What the hell it means adjust it as you please? in one year I only needed to adjust it 2 times. They encourage people to abuse this procedure. I am v frustrated about this GREED.

Thank you LYDSSS, I sent them an inquiry. Appreciate your assistance.

I was banded in Dubai 2010, called slim band people when I came to Toronto to keep my eye on the band and to stay on top of things but they refused to take me, they asked me to pay $5000 and I can have fills and refills as much as I want. Total commercialization of this procedure. Why would I want to constantly fill it or de-fill it and refill it. The idea is to adjust the filling when there is a need not as much as you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They commercialize everything in here. Disgusting. Now, I am having trouble in my stomach, constant throwing up and re flux that I cannot tell the reason becuz I have no place to go to in terms of band and the doctors here keep sending me back and forth not knowing what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

* why now it became tight I meant.

Just came back from clinic. Xrays shows band is too tight. (it was the same since 2010 why not its tight I have no clue). But they need to see inside to tell why the bloodish liquid. thanks for sharing. Ill keep you posted. May

Ok, im freaked out. Going to my General doctor now. I just need to know in advance, if anyone has gone through the same and how was it solved.

I had my surgery in Dubai and I moved to Canada last year. Lap band surgeons here are very commercial. Refused to see me and they have weird commercial packages. I saw a doctor couple of days ago he will refer me to a specialist in the next couple of days.

Hello guys, I hope someone can help me to know what I should do and if anyone has gone through the same. I had my lap band surgery in 2009, lost weight slowly and steadily, minor discomfort but its becoming more and more uncomfortable and painful to eat for the last year. Until recently I started to throw up at night (reflux) and just recently I am throwing up brown liquid. Today morning it was very obvious from the taste of it that I am throwing up blood. I have been going to doctors and they suspect it might be the lap band and I looked everywhere on the net I am not getting enough info, some suggested a hole in stomach and I am freaking out. . Did anyone go through the same? and how this issue can be solved? Thanks Slim2009
