Three years laterand almost back to where i've started(lap band

May 05, 2011

I am so disappointed! I had the lap band  Feb 2008. The first year in a half I lost 70lbs. The fall of 2009 I was hospitalized and my band was emptied because I became dehydrated and couldn't keep anything down. I was empty for 2 mos. and gained 25lbs. I lost ten of the twenty but realized that I wasn't losing anymore. My band ddidn't  seem to tighten the way it did in the beginning. Needless to say that March 2011 I had gained 45lbs back. I received a fill and I got sick again. I was too the point where I couldn't even swallow. So they took out what they put in and I was fine.
Just yesterday I had another fill and was told that I was 15lbs away from where I started three years ago. So Dr. Peters wants to do a study to see why my band is not working and he also said I mat want to look at the gastric sleeve. I am so afraid to go back under the knife again. I just don't understand what is going on. By the way the fill diidn't work because two hours after I was home my stomach was growling. SMH So over this!
