I was banded in june of 08. i lost 100 lbs, but for the past year i have been constantly getting sick. all of the fluid was removed from my band and i was still vomiting, and waking up vomiting. my insurance will not pay for removal. they say there is not enough proof of a problem. does anyone have any suggestions? or the cost of self pay. you can only down carafate for so long.

I would say keep complaining to your doctor they have to remove it if it really is the reason you are getting sick. The more documentation you have of it making you sick the more likely you can get it removed keep bugging them they cant let you be sick

Strange after a year your vomiting, Are you sure it's the band!!!!

Have you been to your pcp to see if it's the band and not something else? Good Luck
