My surgeon found a hiatal hernia, but he repaired before placing the band.... wow I'm so sorrry to hear that you couldn't the band... but remember, everything happens or doesn't happen for a reason... stay strong!!

I guess I'm not understanding why he didn't take out the hernia while he was in there? Then place the band? IO'm so sorry. But the first poster was right - you're not a failure. You will get there. I'm going to thank God tonite for my band for sure

This is sad I'm glad that your surgeon elected to not put the band in, some would have probably done it anyways to get money. I know that hernias can cause the band to slip, so maybe he determined it was too big of a risk?
I hope you find something that works for you. The best of luck to you.

I am sorry it did not work out for you. However, I am glad that you have not given up on your weight loss journey... which means while the lapband may have been fail that you are not a failure.

I second Dox!

You're almost there! Hang on and this will soon be a memory.

Do something with your hands. Learn to knit.

try a protein shake.. and blend in some fruit ( half a banana, half an apple, blueberries, rspberries, strawberries) its a lil bit thicker and may help.

Boy, you made me hungry. You should do a food commerical yourself. I could almost taste that pizza! Dox
