HI JudiM... I had the same thing... some days could eat wotever I wanted and some days couldnt eat at all... after a year of frustration i changed surgeons and found my band had slipped and the stitches had unattached.... maybe its time to get them to investigate for slippage or tearage of stitches.... I had my surgery this week and after many fills and dissapointment i just hope i am on the way to success that i just desire!!!

Hey all I have had the lap band in since nov 3 2008 and initially started to lose a bit of weight, then found that I didnt lose at all. I lost a total of 9 kilos since 2008, but regrettably have not lost any weight since. Its been quite a downer due to the fact that I don't eat a lot and my partner always thinks its a waste of time taking me out for dinner since I never can eat much or vomit. My port unforutantely become unattatched and had to have this revised and and put back into place in June 2009 after much attempts to get my surgeon to have this done at an earlier stage. Since this revision I have not lost any additional weight which I am quite saddenned about. I consulted my GP who said i need to source a second opinion and they found after gastrograffins and surgery that my band had slipped and become unattatched. Would this mean that I would not lose weight due to the above.. I only had the revison this week so still on the fluids diet but unsure how long I need to continue to complete this for and hoping that now I will get results due to the last year being a bit of a downer especially whenI see others just having success and I havent. Hoping its all sorted now and don't know totally wot the next steps are, if you could please help love and best wishes one desperate girl
