Sept of 2011 I was admitted and had emergency surgery for my lap band to be removed. I was assured I did nothing wrong, and this just happens. I have been very careful with my diet, and have been unsuccessful in keeping the weight off. We moved the following month and I just met my new surgeon. I am no longer able to have the band, and we decided to get the vertical sleeve.
I have been dealing with the issues and hopefully it will be ok.
I just wanted to give an update.

Wow,
I had mine the same day. I think I remember you. I am Keri, and had mine at 1pm that day. I am praying for you. I have lost about 49lbs, and have "knock on wood" no complications.

That sounds like me too. However the last time I got sick was friday. I didn't start noticing the pain till (sunday). I am thinking with all the working out, and how much I clean yesterday, plus it only is a dull ache when I do contract my muscles (like a crunch). I wonder because I am losing weight that the band doens't have much fat tissue around it and till it makes a new home, I just will notice it some.
HELP

I am doing good. I have my days where I PB but I am ok otherwise. I do have some discomfort in my upper left abdomen. I wonder if with me losing weight, and fat, things are moving around. I am in a 14/16 right now. I am down I think a reasonable amount of weight. I have an appt next month with my doctor for a follow up. I hope he might take a little out because I am a still concerned with having 9cc's already in my band.
Hope you all are well.

Hey all.
In a 14/16!! Haven't been since High school. Last night I went through my closet and got rid of all my fat clothes, and replaced them with my hand me down thinner clothes. Thank goodness for friends with the lapband.
I am getting to the gym as often as I can. I have been chasing after 4 kids, so that has to count for the days i don't go. My hubby is awesome, and helps me out alot. I am 15lbs away from being in the onederland! I can't believe it!
I am so glad to hear all of you are well!

Today is a day I wish I had had, RNY!!!
I haven't seen the scale budge in 1 1/2 week, almost 2.
I am drinking my protien........ISOPURE
Granted I don't get to work out much, but I am on my feet most of the day 4 days a week.
I texted DH and I am busting out the Wii fit tonight.
I only ate meet yesterday off a gyro with some lettuce and Tomato. I had I think 6 mini meatballs and cheese and tomato sause. Took Tika out for a small jog ( its been raining and she won't potty with out a walk on those days)
And that is all I ate yesterday. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong. I have to have a cup of coffee in the AM. I can't eat in the am cause I am so tight. So I have a EAS shake, and wait till lunch to eat anything, sometimes I am still tight I can't eat and it comes back up.
Please any insite would help.
I am right now about 223. I am not changing my ticker. I have been as low as 221. I don't need a fill. I just want to cry~
Thanks

Yah I am still learning......
I am happy that I am being careful with it.
I don't want to do anything to make me hurt the band, or myself.

OK,
SO here is my day since my 2nd fill.
Really tight in the am.....
Cause yesterday I threw up. after maybe 3 bites of my Breakfast.< /p>
today.........maybe 1.5 ozs of turkey breast. and I am full and very uncomfortable
liquids only so it seems. So Protien shake in the morning........ I can handle that.
lunch I have a Lunchable......minus the cheese. I can't do the cheese.
dinner I can eat ok.
Had about 2 ozs of pork chops, and a small spoonful of mashed potatoes, and a few green Beans
Does this sound like good restriction???
Thanks

I am very concerned

Band Out... Now Sleeved!
in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Posted
So long story short. After living methotical and dilligent I lost my band due to a slip. Could not be revised that day due to the time the slip occured and the damage that happened.
So 8 may I was revised to sleeve and happier than ever.
I will never reccommend the band again
