I just dont know about this lapband had surgery Feb 2014 got down to around 180. Trouble started, so much flem, had to go to the dr and he had to take some out of band, helped for awhile, then had to go and get more taken out, he almost took out everything he put in. Gained almost all the weight back, went back to the dr and had him put some in, well now all I do is cough up flem and even during my sleep I start throwing up flem. I am so so tired of all the coughing and flem and cant even sleep on account of throwing up in my sleep. Not losing any weight even though I throw up all the time. On top of that we have moved and am trying to find a Dr closer to me and not haveing any luck with that. Thinking seriously of just having it taken out.

You should ask your doctor to do the sleeve because my daughter friend had the band and she had so many infections she had it removed and had the sleeve and she doing fine it's been about three years and she keeping her weight down good she looks fantastic I will be praying for you God bless you hope you make the right decisions!!!

There are a ton of people getting their bands removed and converted. Sounds like a good idea to me!

Good luck!

Why oh why can't I sleep in my bed. I am having to sleep in the recliner every night, if I go to my bed about an hour after laying down I start coughing real bad then throwing up. So tired of all of this and on top of that had a fill and not even losing anything.
