I had my lap band three years ago. In the beginning I lost 55 pounds with the band and gradually slow down for me to the point that I gain about 10 pounds and I have been up 5 pounds and down 5 pounds can't seem to lose to my goal, lately the upper top of my stomach seems inflamated and the part where my port is it hurts to the touch I am afraid that this band is causing internal problems and I would have to take it out I have an appointment with my surgeon to see what he recommends. I have not see him in a long time and I don't know what he is going to say. I am very disappointed with this surgery and is causing me a lot of disconfort. I guess I will let you all know the outcome of my appointment.

How did any body coupe with the feeling of having food stuck in your esophagus, wanted to vomit but can't. Also does any body get bad craving (like chocolate) I had a piece of chocolate yesterday and feel so bad today. How can I train my head into not want to eat those kind of foods? help, any suggestions.

oh my god isn't dr. Geiss great? I had such a good experience with him and his staff, this is a small world this is great that we can talk about our success and our bumps in the road and is good to know somebody is also going through the same thing as me. Let me ask you do you ever feel like when you eat food gets stuck in the way down? does any body ever felt that way?

what part of LI are u? I am from Bay Shore. Dr. Geiss did my surgery in Syosset Hospital :rolleyes2:

I am sorry you feel that way I also am three months since the operation and I feel hungry must of the time I also feel like I can eat anything I had lost 40 pounds so far but I feel like I haven't lost any thing since my last visit. You are not alone.

Hi, my name is Diana I was banded in August 2008 by Dr. Geiss at Syosset Hospital in Syosset, New York. I had a bump in the road, where they had to get all the liquid out of my band and they did an endoscopy to remove a lot of food that was stucked in my esophagus, I am better now but after the surgery they only put 1 1/2 cc of fill in my band and I feel like I am always hungry specially late afternoons. Can anybody suggest anything about hunger in the afternoons. Thank you.:smile2:

I had my band put in August 2008 and had a lot a adjustment problems, I had to have a endoscophy to remove food stocked on my esophagus and I am still adjusting to this band it does not mean you should take it out. Hang in there and think on the positive outcome when you lose the weight
