I have been banded for 2 years. I can't say I've ever had a good day since. Currently, I am in pain. My port is protruding and looks like a baseball emerging. Most days, I can't eat ANYTHING. My health is overall suffering from lack of vitamins and nutriets. I want it OUT. I can't lay on my left side, lifting things has become difficult. I went and saw my surgeon about two weeks ago. He seems to think I'm binging and purging. I WISH!! Pretty much told me that the problems I'm having are my own fault and I must be eating because I'm not 200lbs. Why is all the blame on me? Doing more and more research, I am finding that I am not the only one and this is not all my doing. The soonest they can get me in to check it is September 29th. I am suffering and don't know what else to do. :thumbup:

I just got the band removed 2 days ago and I am so happy..No longer feel like a prisoner. I am still in some pain, and some swelling..Hopefully it will go away soon.
