Did the surgeon find any thing why the band was not working, etc and were they able to tell you about it?  

I am hoping he could find out why my band hated me? 

 

246 in Dec 2008 before banded 1/28/09 at 215 lbs, band crapped 9/09 at 170 lbs and struggled with it and regained to 203 revised to bypass on 8/1/11 and am very happy.

mine did look at my band, even took pictures but he said there was nothing wrong.  Sometimes the stomach does not like to be choked by the band.

For me 3 different doctors did fills with me under flora.  You could see the fluid go into the esophagus, set there, set there and then finally my esophagus would release the food or liquid to go to the stomach.  Then with the horrible heart burn I was very glad to have the band out!!!

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
