I went to the doctor to start this process of getting my lapband taken out and getting gastric bypass on April 19th, I have my surgery date for May 14! I can't wait to get this band out of me. I lost around 100 lbs the first year I had it then I couldn't keep things down I was throwing up a lot, kept going back to my doctor cause I started gaining weight back he asked my why I failed.... I felt terrible I thought I was the only one, that's how he made me feel anyway. I found a new doctor and he said they take out the lapband all the time , it's the band that failed. Reading all your posts I'm feeling better and looking forward to a positive new beginning.
