Hi.. I have to say I wish the Lapband worked for me.. I had the surgery 3 years ago and lost 30 lbs in the first few months had fills over the years and slowly gained it back.. I have followed the guide lines Iam having an UGI next week and hopefully we will get to the bottom of why it is not working for me I have developed night coughing and reflux so my dr is concerned any advise

Hey I have had the lapband for almost 3 years now on july 30th I lost about 30 lbs at first but then slowly gained it back over time I have not gone past my start weight It seems be holding at that weight But I to have not been successful with the band.. I have gone to my dr a few times a year for fills but were Iam at right now is as far as I can go otherwise food gets stuck alot I had to go to the Er last year because of it.. I go for an other UGI in 2 weeks to see what is going on because I have developed nighttime coughing and reflux.. I hope at some point we can figure out what is going on I did the lapband for my health and because of my family history and I have to say Im disappointed with myself for not succeeding in this since i have always struggled with my weight Iam 48 now and want to be healthy for myself and my family I do eat easy food too but not alot i try to eat 3 meals aday Iam not saying the lapband does not work because I know people who have been successful with it and I hoped I would too but for me so far not good any suggestions ???
