hi, did you get your surgery done in Germany or the states? My husband just got orders to Stuttgart and now i found out that we might not be able to go because of my lapband. we are in the process of doing the EFMP paperwork. if you got the band in the states did you have any problems getting over to germany, or did they sail you right through? i keep hearing so many different things? any information would be helpful!! Thanks

I have been banded for about 2 years now and have not lost all that much weight, and receintly have put about 20 pounds back on. My fault really. I eat all the wrong foods, drink with all my meals so they are the same size as before and take in alot of liquid caleries overall. To be honest with you I didn't realize I would need so much self control after the surgery. Anyways the reason for my post is that I have been experiencing really bad pains. It started a couple weeks ago on my right side under my rib cage. I went to the doctor and all of my labs were fine, so I went on liquids for a few days and the pain went away. Now the pain is back, but this time on the right side of my ribcage, and this time it feels like it is right where my band is. The last week I have been REALLY overeating and eating way to fast. I am really wondering if I have streched out my pouch. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I look on here for threads that were already here and couldn't find any. Anyone have any answers?
