  1. SO here I go. My story is long and complicated but I will try to condense my story. I had my lap band done on 12/5/06, when I first started I weighed 316 lbs. My first year I lost 100 lbs., then in 11/07 my band slipped and I became totally obstructed. My band was removed and I had to wait 2 months to have my band replaced. During that 2 months I did gain back about 30 pounds. Since my band replaced instead of losing I am gaining weight. I feel like such a failure, it seem that I never feel full. My doctor keeps telling me that I need to just eat a half a cup and to just walk away, but I am really hungry.I need to also mention that my first band was a 10 and I now have an AP Large band. My doctor keeps telling me that the band is the same, but it just doesn.t feel like it. The first year I lost weight almost effortlessly. But now it is a real struggle and I really need advice or help. When I stepped on the scale this moring it said that I weighed 256 lbs. So now I am really stressing. Has anyone else had their band removed or replaced and experienced this. Any information or comments would be greatly appreciated.
