Rachel, Please be tell me, when you get new fills does it feel like its not working anymore? I had all the same problems that you having. but now i havent had an adjustment for 8 months i gained 50 pounds , ( was down to 163) now back up to 210!!!! the doctors and nutricionist kept telling me there is nothing wrong even went for a ct scan and all they saw was gallbladder stones !!! Well needless to say I have no insurance I paid for the last 3 fills out of pocket. UGHHH im so sad disgusted wish I never lost the weight cuz its so hard to stay focused! make sure u get a second opinion.

I got my lap band at University of Illinois, Well I had it put in on 9/2006 I was 315 was down to 163 in 2009 then Major things were starting to happen. I had no restriction my port was bending with my body and to top it off I lost my job so had no insurance ! ! I paid for the visits out of pocket $ 250. 00 they were not helping. The doctors wnated to have nothing to do with me ! I guess they got thier $ worth out of BCBS $34, 000. NOW i HAVE PUT ON 50 PDS AND NO ONE WILL HELP !! The sad thing is I live in chicago with sooo many university, hospitals, and specialty doctors . And not one I have called will help !! Good Luck.
