It's a hard thing to go through. I understand how painful it can be!
I hope you'll be able to check in after your revision and let us know how you're feeling. I hope the issues are resolved with band removal.

Unfortunately I have not made the triip to my doctor for an a half hours away in Clarksville my insurance does not pay and I already owe them over $200 that they told me to be prepared to pay before I could be seen again. So it's kind of been on the back burner

There are way more band failures than successes at this point. Don't blame yourself at all. It's an inferior product. Wishing you the best with your revision. I hope all goes well for you and your recuperation is easy.

I understand this. The band did so much damage to my nerves that I never feel full. I have gastritis which mimics hunger, too. Have you been diagnosed with gastritis, by any chance?

Mine is also the realize band placed in 2009. Would LOVE to convert to sleeve but would have to self pay and there's just no way that's possible

I feel swelling where my port is.I go to Surgeon on the 16th of Nov but have to see PA. Since Dr. Is on vacation.I am going to schedule and see about removing my band and revision surgery. Currently have gained 20 lbs. I work out 5 days a week and husband says I eat like a bird. My band was placed in 2009 realize band.
