Due to difficulties after surgery, they had to go in and 'unhook' my band. Has anyone else had to experience this?

I'm discouraged because I am on puree foods but I am hungry all the time. I have to wait two months before they will go back in and hook it back up.

Why did they have to unhook your band?

I'm wondering the same thing. What were the difficulties?

I never heard about this happening..tell us more

Me personally been having a very slow recovery because of nerve damage during surgery. been in a lot of pain ever since 18 days post op. I decided right away that if anything goes wrong I don't want them going in to ''fix'' anything, just take it out. And it has nothing to do with discouragement, its just a decision that I made. I feel that all of us have shown tremendous amount of courage by just giving it a try, and having the surgery in the first place. However that doesn't mean that we are tide to it. Good luck with your recovery and with whatever you decide.

After surgery I had so much swelling that nothing would pass through. After three days of continually throwing up and severe pain, they decided to go back in and unhook it.

I don't want them to remove it as it cost me ALOT of money and I can't see just throwing that away. I just wish I didn't have to wait 2 months to begin this journey the way I am suppose to. I'm not looking forward to being put under either cause after the 2nd surgery to unhook it I ended up in ICU after aspirating into my lungs while they were putting me out from the continual vomiting.

I was just curious if anyone else had to have theirs unhooked and how they dealt with the hunger, etc.or if they still had some restriction.
