Like many this is been a battle since childhood. Had lap/band surgery over 10 years ago with about three replacements in between  and a couple of hernias.  Why someone might understandably ask would I keep using a band.   I lost over 170 pounds and maintained it is long as I had restriction of some sort.  Mostly it was hell but I did my best to be successful. IM currently banded and wish to have it removed and convert to a vertical gastrectomy sleeve . Highest weight  350. I've gained a lot back the band has no fluid can't put any in without bad complications.  Sadly, and all-too-familiar story.
