Hi, I have had the band for 7 years and I had a slip. Thanks for writing about surgery. I was wondering how that would go. I'm having lapband and port removed. How long did it take you to get ok from Ins.? I have been waiting a month a still have not heard. I've been thinking of getting sleeve but I think I have made a decision Not to have it. Ugh! it so hard to make a decision because I did not do well with band. I did lose 70 lbs.. Gained 30 through the years and just lost 17 because I can't eat much with the slip. Mostly I drink protein shakes. I vomited a lot with band and I'm afraid it will be the same. You can still gain your weight back so I'm dealing with the same thing. I'm 65years old and I don't want to look for trouble. There are so many things that can go wrong. Thanks for listening. Guess I had to get this off my chest.

My band has slipped and I need surgery. I have made the decision to have my band removed. I also would like some feedback from others who had their lapland removed.

.I was banded Oct. of 2007. I weighed 195. I am 4'10 and I can tell you I was very overwight fo my size. I have lost 60 lbs. I went from a size 20 to a size 12. I can breath for the first time in a long time. I had a lot of belly fat which is very bad or the heart. I have battled my weight like the rest of you all my life I feel a lot better about myself. Ii still have some weight to lose but I'm confident that I will lose my remaining lbs. Thanks listening.

Hi my name is Jane, This is my first time on this site. I had my surgery 2 years ago. I lost 50lbs. and I have not been able to lose the rest of my weight. In fact I have gained about 8 lbs. I also do a lot of vomiting. Please help. I think it would help to have suggestions of what people eat at meals. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
