I too had horrible problems with lapband. Placement surgery was April 2011. I had 1st fill Sept 2011. Did fairly well with the band and all the lifestyle changes. In 2013 I went to the DR and got food poisoning. I was horrendously sick. I vomitted for 2 days straight and we all know as bariatric patients that's a no-no. Upon returning I had band emptied to enable healing. For 6 months I dealt with sever nausea, dialy vomitting and lost the ability to eat soild foods, mushies or thick liquids. I amazing didn't lose any weight eventhough I was consuming no calories. In November of 2103, my Dr wanted to go in laproscopically and see what was going on. My band had magor scarring and was embedded. He was thinking he could adjust it but ended up having it removed. =( I gradually gained back 35 of the 50ish I lost. I am now beginning the process of the sleeve and am loving all the positive feedback on this site. I hope this is successful. Good luck to you as well! =)
