I've had my lap band for 8 years and unil about 1 year ago I went from 230 to 140. The band was greaat, it limited my food intake like I expected it to do. It didn't allow me to over eat. Prior to last year, I was maintianing my weight between 140 and 143 UNTIL LAST YEAR.
I noticed that I was able to eat without restictions! I FELT THAT MY LAP BAND SOMEHOW DISAPPEARED. I told my doctor, he thought my band had slipped, however, the x rays did not show any change. I've been dealing with this ever since. I am now up to 170 and climibing. I tried other diets lose a few pounds then gain it back. My doctor just blows it off, telling me I 'm eating too much of the wrong things. Previously I could eat anything I wanted, just could not eat very much, ie a few bites.
I can't be the only one with this problem. I need input. I JUST WANT MY BAND BACK AND WORKING PROPERLY.
HELP!
