I was originally banded in 2006. I lost over 100lbs, but it came at a cost. I was constantly "stuck" and in pain. Most nights I would wake up choking. The acid reflux was so intense my ears would tingle. It was a nightmare. I couldn't eat anything but mush most of the time. Eating was so frustrating that I would just give up.
But...I was losing weight, and just kept trucking along.
After numerous adjustments, x-rays, etc., it was decided that I needed my band to be replaced. This happened in October 2013. I have since gained back almost all the weight I had lost.
When I was originally researching WLS, I was looking at the Gastric Bypass. I was talked out of it, and into the band. What a mistake. I am now waiting to travel through the lengthy process of OHIP to have a revision done.
I wasted too many years with the band and it got me absolutely nowhere. Very excited for this new journey!!
