I had my surgery on July 18. All seemed well til the day after I got home. My stomache swelled n felt like I swallowed a bowling ball. Called dr n he didn't seem concerned. Ended up in ER and they emptied the band. My dr didn't bother to visit me for any of the five days I spent in the hospital. Lost 20lbs I. That week and not a pound since. Had several fills since am still hungry alm the time. Can eat twice what I should be able to. I feel like this was the worse mistake I've ever made. Am I the only one this completely unhappy and depressed?

I wonder why they said not to follow a Weight Watchers program along with having the band? I am currently doing both, quite successfully I might add since I lost 11.2lbs in 3 weeks!! I found myself eating to much band friendly bad food now that I only see the surgeon every 3 months so I wanted the weekly support of WW to go along with the band & surgeon was all for it since he totally recognizes there is as much of a mental aspect to the process besides the physical.
