I had the Lapband for 3 yrs,,I had many fills and unfills because my stomach would swell shut where the band was. I also found a moth or so after the surgery if I ate too fast or just a little too much I would throw up and it would even come through my nose..and in the mornings I couldnt eat or drink anything for a few hours. It got to where after a fill Id have a popsicle at 4pm and throw it up at 10pm when I layed down to sleep.

So we sent in a request to my insurance for Lapband removal and for them to do the RNY (gastric bypass)..the problem with the Lapband removal was I had a 6 band which they dont use anymore,,but if there was damage to the stomach during the removal they might have to do the gastric sleeve,,either the RNY or the Gastric Sleeve would have been a winner for me. I am 3 yrs out and put on about 25 lbs of what I have lost but it is coming back off. I do not like milk anymore and really dont care for ice cream anymore..every thing else I can eat and drink just in moderation
