  1. So, is your insurance covering this? I was told mine won’t. I had great results and was down to around 120 lbs. Then I had an injury and had to take NSAIDS. My stomach got irritated, the band got tight, and I got dehydrated. They removed all of the fluid and It has been a struggle ever since. I gained 55 lbs! When I had no restriction it felt like I was an empty pit and I was always so hungry. I have been fairly stable lately but not in the sweet spot. I decided to just leave it alone. Now I have some sinus drainage and I can only do liquids! I have not had this issue in the 9 years that I have had the band! I am so fed up!
