LAP-BAND Patients

  1. I had my lap band July 2006. At first it was great, I lost 66 pounds and then I fell at work and broke my ankle. I wasn't able to walk for awhile and was only losing 5-6 pounds a month and my Doctor got mad at me and wanted to know when my foot Doctor was going to let me walk again. This totally distressed me and then my Doctor started telling me My husband wasn't giving me the support I needed and I needed to leave him. He said he has only told 2 of his patients that they needed to leave their husbands in his whole practice. He would not give me a fill. I have only had 1 fill of 1 cc since my surgery. My Doctor retired 1 year ago. I have searched for another Doctor and none would see me, saying they do not see other Doctors patients. Now I have finally found a Doctor that will see me and I don't have insurance anymore. Anyway I actually feel a lot hungrier since my band and throw up during just about every meal. I take a bite chew and swallow and run to the bathroom and throw up. I go back and wait for awhile and then I can eat about half my meal. Sometimes I throw that up too. I have gained back most of my weight and am so disgusted with this band, I wish I had never had it done. I hurts so much when I try to eat even with 1 bite. It hurts also when I sleep, I have to position myself so my stomach where my band is dont touch the bed. Also even when I eat and my top part of the stomach is filled, my bottom stomach feels like it is starving. I can feel the hunger pains in my lower stomach. Does anyone else have this problem?
