    5 years post now complications

    Unfortunately I did. After 3 years I had my band fixed which didn’t help I wasn’t able to have any fills so all fluids were taken out. I still felt restriction got stuck but did not have the reflux after that. I did end up getting my band out after 7 years. I ended up anemic and been having problems since. I can’t say it’s a result of the band. I do have 2 small ulcers near band site. Although I did lose 100+ lbs in less than a year I have now gained back 75. 😕. Good luck I recommend removal as it didn’t get better once the symptoms started.

    The Journey to Get Scheduled

    Call your coordinator and check. They lost my request somewhere and insurance never received it. I would've waited forever!

    Acid Reflux?

    Hope you got answers! I battled reflux for over 2 years after my band. Finally switched doctors and had a barium swallow and found I had a slipped band. Just had surgery and they found a hiatal hernia and now have a dilated esophagus. Feeling better but only a few days post op. Dont mess around with reflux!!

    3 questions b4 surgery

    I had my lb surgery on 9-10-09. The diets listed above sound pretty much what mine was. The first 2 days for me were great then the next 4 were a bit tougher. I had what felt like a very bad pulled muscle in my stomach. I think it is where they sewed the port in. But 1 week post op it was like wow I feel so much better and now I feel pretty much back to myself. Good luck I feel better already!

    New to lapband talk

    Hi~I am 1 week post op and today am feeling really good. Days 1 & 2 after surgery were great, 3 & 4 my belly was very sore where the port had been sewn in. It has continually gotten better but I did learn to keep taking the pain medication as needed if you can tolerate it. For me the pain was like having a very pulled muscle in my stomach, not so much painful but very uncomfortable. I think it was a breeze! Good luck!:biggrin:
