LapBand is a nightmare for me. Want to go to sleeve. Medicare anyone?

Ive had the band since last October. Im going on a year and all I do is get sick. This is like controlled bulimia and Im over it. Fluid, no fluid, Ive only lost 35 pounds. This band is making me sick all the time. Has anyone ever had this issue and has medicare? Any info would be fabulous.

Thanks!

I don'[t know about medicare, but that was my life with the lapband as well. Even after 10 years, and some pouch dialation and no fill in the band, I would still vomit if I had even a spoonful of rice. It was terrible. For some reason, the band just doesn't work right for some of us. Good luck in your search to revise.... I revised to sleeve in 2011 and very pleased with my choice even though I still work pretty hard at this.
