Knowing from experience I lost my band in May of 2008. I did not have any pain but was unable to keep anything down. I would have acid reflux at night while sleeping and would PB all day. I lost weight very fast. I went from 180 - 145 in 4 weeks. I was very dehydrated and sometimes weak. I went back and forth to the doctor and was told that I was eating too fast. It was not until the rapid weightloss that my doctors begin to get concerned. With all of that said, I am now doing fine and have a New Band and a New Doctor. If you are having issues go the the doctor. If it is a partial slippage it can be repaired. EJ

Hello, I am 3 weeks post op and is really enjoying the band. The surgery is really not that bad. The liquid phase is hard but remember it is for healing not for taste. Good luck and much success.

I was banded on 10/28/2006. I used my Sprint Phone and there was not charge.
