Doctors' decide which band size is implanted based on your anatomy. My daughter received a realize band two months ago and felt restriction right away. She lost 36 pounds. She never had it filled. All of a sudden she could not keep anything down. This lasted for two weeks, one of which she was in the hospital. She felt no pain. I made her ask for her gall bladder to be checked. Her gall bladder was bad and she had it removed. The doctor checked her band and found it had eroded into her stomach. She also had an infection. Her band was removed. Could her doctor have made a mistake by giving her a small size band instead of a large size band? This has been hard on her three small children since she is a single mother. Her doctor is a pro at a well known hospital. I would appreciate any information. Thanks, A Very Tired Grammy

My daughter, 28, just had her realize band removed after only two months. She could not keep anything down for over two weeks. They did tests, barium in her did not allow for a cat-scan. I had her demand an ultra-sound test for her gallbladder. They took it out, it was bad, but they discovered her band had eroded into her stomach. I would like to know why. Was it the wrong size? Her doctor is excellent and is experienced. It has been a hard for her and her three young children, single mother.
