  1. Hello everyone, I had surgery in May 2012. I lost 53 lbs in six months and felt great. Every time I went for a fill after the sixth month the restriction would last only a week and a half. I questioned the nurse and told her about it and she said it was all about what I was sticking in my mouth.....I truly think my plication has come undone if there is such a thing. I have gained some of the weight back and thinking about having the sleeve operation. Very depressed about the whole thing. My insurance won't pay for the sleeve and will cost about 10,000....Like everyone else I am 63 years old and my health being over weight is slowly getting to me. Going to discuss with my doctor in the near future. I am glad I found this forum.

    Band complications now getting rebanded 2/28/14

    Hello, I have had the Lap Band for almost two years. In the beginning I lost 52 lbs in around six months. Every time after that I would go in for a fill and it was good for about a week and then no restriction. I am not at my at the highest fill yet but very frustrated as I have gained some weight back. I am seriously thinking about having it removed and having the sleeve done. I know there are lots of pro's and con's with all the surgeries but I need to do something soon. I feel like a failure....I am an emotional eater and I always want the feeling of feeling full...Ugh Anyone else thinking on the same lines as me? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
