Thank you for your post, I had my lap band placed in 2007. I have not had a fill-in over two years. I have insurance and found an MD to fill it, he tried to talk me into removing it. I have it tested under floro. It is in good working order, the MD was shocked. It worked for me and when I could not get it filled it opened without any restriction. It was over and I ate poorly, I wish I would not have had any lapse in insurance. I would be doing the same thing and having it removed. I go fo my fill tomorrow after 2+ years.
I have to retrain my thoughts about eating, chew, chew, chew and only a tiny portions of nutrients needed. Water etc. I can do this!! Once again the post was helpful.
