Auddie

i haven't been able to eat for 5 days or drink even fluids. i have no fills anymore because of this issue. the examinations and tests that i have had done say that my band is fine and that i got gastroparesis from the surgery. but its the band because i have so much restriction....sometimes over time your body can reject the band.

i had all the saline removed about a year ago! Never got it refilled. Its now been 5 days of not eating....and i've lost 7 lbs since sunday but its not a good weight loss

I definatley wish i would of went with the sleeve or gastric bypass. I had surgery in Apr 2009 and I have lost 110lbs which don't get me wrong is amazing....but i don't feel great at all Im in soo much pain...Its been this last time 4 days and I can't eat anything and liquids won't even go down nice. I usually throw up at least 3 times a day (if you call it that mostly slime and i can actually force the food back up after i eat) something is seriously not right but i've been in and out of the ER and all the tests show that there isn't anything wrong! i dont eat much and i have constant pressue in my chest and it severly hurts to burp or hiccup. They do say that after awhile your body can actually start rejecting the band and maybe that is it. Don't get me wrong i've had success but i also have 50 lbs left to lose and it makes me sad that I may have to get it taken out because i can't handle this way of life anymore. Is there anyone else out there that is going through this.........

I had my band done in 2009 and 3 yrs later i am having MAJOR issues. I did lose 110 LBS and am grateful for that but i would recommend doing the sleeve. Getting banded was a huge mistake!!
