so sorry you are dealing with all this mess. I have only had this alien in me for 8 months , I am so angry that I chose the band as well -exact reasons like you- i am going to alk to my surgeon today, i want this out and have the right procedure for me FOR LIFE instead. I never have that fullness they claim, I also am very uncomfrtable with this giant knob sticking out of my side as well as everytime I eat I feel like Im having a ***ing heart attack.. I dont want to wait until it becomes a HUGE problem. I hope my surgeon complies. I am truly committed, eat as follows, work out as follows Vitamins Water....30 lbs lost since March BFD Feel better - you are a gorgeous woman and desearve to feel 1000% perfect with yourself!

Hi Sabrina I was banded last March. I have regretted this choice after about 3mos. Reasons: I can feel everything in my torso, the port area is always tender. I have a tough time swallowing, and honestly never feel full. The big picture is this for me, since I had made up my mind this was a life time committment, how stupid do I feel getting something that was reversable. I am going to talk to my surgeon today about my thoughts. I hope I can correct my choice sooner than later. I don't want to waste time, the longer I wait the more scar tissue I will have. Go for it- the real deal! Sleeve or RNY
