Topic: RE: **HATERS!! QUIT BAND BASHING!!!!
My point exactly...I had my port tubing replaced, but I AM STILL THANKFUL FOR MY BAND. I came on the site with questions concerning my band and got them answered. What I don't like is people telling me how awful the band, how I should have a certain revision, and going as far as to say that I should have it removed because it is harming me.

BTW I am finished responding to this thread because it is the same few hopless negatives that keep posting.

Bye Bye!

NM
As mentioned in my recent post, I think it is important to know the pros and cons of the band and to help answer questions when they arise. What I was referring to was the few constant responders that don't necessarily answer the questions.... they start bashing the band immediately. That helps no one. BTW, I wasn't even referring to your posts.

Topic: RE: **HATERS!! QUIT BAND BASHING!!!!

I'm sick of every time I get on the boards to get a little info... these same few people who are so negative about the band ba**** constantly. Quit it!! We get it you had a bad experience...get over it...move on. Not everyone wants your negativity spewed everytime they make a post. Go find another forum to be nasty on.  Yes, people need the pros and cons, but copy and pasting the same statistics and same band nightmares time after time if really getting old...Go home!

By the way Happy Thanksgiving to the rest of you.

my results:
5' 9"
start 252
now 160
size 8-10

Topic: RE: This board makes me nervous!!!
I don't know if it just me...but I get stressed out reading everyone's posts. All the problems everyone has had with their band. I think I'm paranoid everytime I have a wierd burp....have I slipped? am I too tight? am I damaging my band? is my port leaking?

I know some will say ...quit reading them!!! But I am here to get info, and I do appreciate the info that I can take from these posts. I don't know...it just makes my palms sweat.

Topic: RE: Port removal?
Actually it was the tubing that went from the port to the band, It cracked in half and would leak all the sailine out when I would get a fill. So I went in Tuesady and they replaced tubing and port (they won't just replace tubung, they have to replace port and tubing.) My band around my stomach was fine. It $5k to go in and put new port and tubing.

Topic: RE: Port removal?
I had my port removed yesterday because it was leaking. I was very nervous about it because the pain was so bad after first surgery. This time was a breeze. I was out of recovery and a home within 2 hours of the surgery.  He put a smaller port in there but it is hard for me to tell because i am still so swollen. By the way I was a self-pay it ran about $5,000. Hopefully it will be worth it.

Topic: RE: WORS BAND NEWS EVER
They said it was no harm leaving the band as is, to have it removed would be the same cost as having port/tube replaced.

Topic: RE: WORS BAND NEWS EVER

Well it's official....after 5 years of being banded, my band tube kinked and split open. I am a self-pay and cannot have the surgery re-done. So, I am now my own and scared to death, and putting on weight. I don't know what to do. It's like I don't even have a band after all of this. Lost 90lbs. with band, and got very close to goal weight of 155.

Topic: RE: Is this heartburn???or what?? Hurts like heck!!
Ok, I had a fill last wed. and have been experience some kind of burning sensation in my chest. I have been banded form 3 years and lost 97lbs and have had 4 or 5 fills but for some reason this one is about to kill me. Anyone experience this? Is it heartburn? Acid? It goes on all day long. Is it an overfill? WILL IT GO AWAY?.......HELP

Topic: RE: Why do doctors say this???????
Why do doctors say that lapbanders only lose between 65-70% of their excess weight. At first I thought ...that's crazy I will lose all the weight, but for some reason for the last year and a half I have been stuck!!! I can not seem to lose any more than 70% of my excess weight.

What gives???Is it a lapband curse??lol.
