Hi my name is Ann and i wanted to let you all know how i am doing.i have been in bad shape and in so much pain with trouble swallowing liquids and food.:help: i had my lap band taken out been causing me nothing but trouble since 2005 my stomach has to heal up so the doctor can do the bypass on me.:hat::clap2:

I'm so sorry you have had trouble with your band. Hopefully you will heal up quickly and move on with your surgery. That is why there are options as we are all different. Some people like me, have had no problems with the band. They there are a few that it does not work for. Good luck and best wishes. Keep us informed!
