After having the band damage my insides for 6-1/2 years I cannot recommend it to anyone. However, I'm very happy it's working for you and has worked for others. But the band's failure rate is far too high in my opinion. Best of luck.
I'm so sorry to hear how much difficulty you've had with your band. I've had everything except the ulcers. I guess I should be thankful for that. I had the band revised to a gastric bypass. I know a lot of banders who are having their bands revised to a sleeve. I had my band placed in 12/09, so one year after you. That seemed to be the golden age of bands.
If I were you I would definitely get it removed. It's only going to get worse. My surgeon had to repair a lot of damage that the band did even after it had been deflated for a year. Since you've lost 130 lbs you may not need to having anything else put in. However, if you're afraid of gaining then perhaps the sleeve or the mini-gastric? I would definitely not do anything more drastic than that. The doctors will try to convince you to go with something drastic, but the gastric was as drastic as I wanted to go.
Best of luck to you.
You should definitely contact law enforcement and file a report. I would also consider hiring an attorney and having him or her speak with the witness immediately.

You call the Harrisburg police and file a report. The statute of limitations on rape in PA is 12 years.
Are you saying that your former doctor sexually assaulted you?

Hi! I have had mine 9 1/2 years, weight has fluctuated but still have about 100lbs loss. It is a constant struggle but it can work if you work at it. OH and you have no serious issues with the band like some. I had mine replaced once after it was realized I had a small AP and needed a large. So far so good that was 5 years ago or so.
Good luck!
