Hi Everyone,
My name is pannini and i am from Blackburn Lancashire, I have had my Lap Band in since 2007 and i am sorry to say things haven't gone well for me, after being told i wasn't fat enough to have my Band done in the UK i traveled to Prague no real problems came back and had my first fill in Manchester infact i had several fills but only managed to take 7lbs of over a few years.. after being constantly sick i decided to have the fill taken out the Surgeon said i had an inflamed eusophegus and that the Band was no use to me and they wouldn't fill it again.. i carried on over the next few years without a fill but in April this year i started getting a Bad pain around my port and at that point it felt like my Band had inflated itself then in July this year i could no longer eat without everything coming back.. I saw my Surgeon who said i needed a CT scan and a Barium swallow I had these but neither should any problem with the Band, I am now at the stage were i want my Band removed but i have been told that i have to wait until funding is approved if it isn't I am in deep problems money wise.. I also know i cant carry on just having soup without any chunks of veg but if i do i am sick has anyone else had this problem please help!!
