I got my band in July 2007 in Hawaii. I lost almost 50 lbs in the first 5 months or so on it. Shortly after that I moved to Nevada. I took on a stressful job and I noticed that I was vomiting a lot. I had my band unfilled, filled, unfilled, filled. I just kept vomiting. I now weigh 10 lbs more that when I had the band. I had it removed because it was causing me so many problems. I had developed terrible heartburn. I wasn't eating enough protein because since I had a hard time eating it, I just stayed away from it and ate foods that would stay down. Happy to be unbanded, and now working towards the gastric sleeve. My dr likes to wait 6 months after being unbanded to let the stomach reshape and heal. My target is to have the sleeve in Aug 2017. My new dr thinks I have sleep apnea so I'm having a sleep study done in late April.
