I was banded back in '09. I'm now going for a revision. I have rare complications. My doctor tells me I'm only. 03% of people who get banded who have these complications. Tremors, memory and speech problems. Migraines and dizziness. Every time I get any type of fill these side effects start. So the band has been laying useless in me since about 8 months post op. My new surgeon also told me they are seeing so many band to bypass revisions coming across there tables. And even with the smallest amounts of fluids in my band right now I still can't eat bread, rice, pasta or broccoli. If I do it gets stuck horribly. And since my surgery I haven't been able to throw up at all. Its hell if I have the stomach bug or just a bad stomach. It feels like my stomach is being ripped apart and the only thing that comes up is blood.
