Hi! I had a lapband on 5/4/07 by Dr. Korus. I did well in the beginning and had lost 60 lbs. For the last six months, I do not get filled up and have been eating much more. I have gained 10 pounds. I have had 5 adjustments with no success-the last one being on 5/13. I had an endoscopy and he thought the band might have been up a little high; however, I was the first patient he ever did with an band. I had another adjustment with barium swallow and Dr. Korus felt that the band looked fine. Does anyone have this problem and any suggestions on what I should do? I am becoming very depressed about this and really want to succeed. I have about another 50 pounds to lose.
Thanks.
Judy
