I had Lapband surgery in oct of 2010. It took me a little over a year to take off 103 pounds. In 2016 i started with real bad reflux. After much discussion with my doctor i decided to have it removed and do the sleeve. I had gained around 40 pounds. Prior to surgery i lost 17 pounds. Surgery went well...or so i thought. I ended up 9 days in the hospital unable to keep anything down so they put a stent in for 6 weeks. Skip to now. I can eat ANYTHING I want. The quantity of food no matter what it is is WAY More than i should be able to consume . I have spoken repeatedly to my doctor and he insists nothing is wrong. Wants me to make a food journal and go back in 2 Weeks. NO MATTER WHAT I EAT I AM NOT LOSING WEIGHT. I have gained since the lowest i was after surgery. I never feel full. I really think the stent stretched it out too much. I am totally disgusted. This surgery came out of my pocket... money i could have used elsewhere. I have given up all hope and wish i would never have removed the band. Anyone else experience this?
