  1. I had the lap band done on12-15-08. No fills yet. I did not have it done for weight lose as I had the RNY in 04. I have suffered severe dumping for 4 years. I went from 228 lbs to 96 lbs. I have been on sandostatin injections 3 times a day to help but it does not take it away. In addition to dumping I had 2 bowel obstuctions in 05. The dumping occurs regardless of what I eat and with it my blood sugars drop into the 20-30's. Because all this is a life threatening condition my surgeon recommended a lap band to try to slow the emptying of my pouch. Since I had it I have had food stick every time I take a bite. Washing it down with water did not work. It actually gurgled back up and out. I had my esophigus dilated 3 days ago with no relief. Can anyone tell me how long this will go on. I have already lost 5 more lbs. I know to chew chew chew. I know what foods to eat. I can not take much more of this. I DO NOT want to have a complete revision. I had all my hopes pinned on this but I am very discouraged right now. Answers please??
