  1. My pouch grew but my entrance to my stomach was complete blocked.I had heart burn so bad at night nothing worked. I would literally vomit acid in my sleep. I took the max doses of all the meds on the market. I was starting to get a lot of swelling in my abdomen, and every time i ate something I would normally have to throw up like I was stuck. I didn't have my band removed. He took all the fluid out and immediately i felt better. I had to keep all the fluid out for a month so that all the swelling could go down. So after I got all the fluid out i gained 50 lbs due to being able to eat anything i wanted again. It was mainly bad decisions on my part. Lesson learned. I got my fluid back in a couple weeks ago and I feel better now having the feeling back. Don't do like me and be hard headed I waited almost 2 months before I went to the dr.
  2. I had my lap-band in 2013. Well about 5 months ago I kept throwing up and getting re-flux. I went to the dr and had to get all my fluid removed due to the band was dilated. Well after years of not being able to eat crap food I ate crap I shouldn't have. Well I had my first will 2 weeks ago since my unfilled. I have no hunger drive, the thought of food just makes me turn my head. I keep forcing myself to eat and its hard. In two weeks im down 20lbs.

  4. I had the same problems. After 5 years I was constantly throwing up and had horrible acid reflex. It was so bad no amount of meds would help. Finally I went to the dr and my lapband was completely dilated.

  10. I had my surgery Nov 2013. I weighed 353 pounds. I had no idea how big I really was. I was in denial. I finally made the choice to be a better me. I have lost over a 100lbs. It's has taken me blood sweat and tears. I would do it over again. I still have 47 more pounds till my goal weight.

  17. So the last couple weeks have been bad. I feel off the wagon big time then hit run over by it lol. I don't know why but ice cream and candy and crap were my bff. I feel guilty but I woke up and decided NO more. So I ate a small bowl of oatmeal. The good news while I was being a self indulging cow I kept up with the gym and I didn't gain weight or lose
