Hi my name is Patricia,
I had the lap band done in May 2010 and I have only lost 9lbs. The only thing that I don’t like about the lap band is that I have lots of discomfort on my left side, running up to my left arm and neck I also feel pain in my heart when I eat. I’m constantly throwing up, my kids have been watching me over the 8 past months. Now think it’s a cool thing to be throwing up. Every time they see get up from the table to run to the bathroom they want to do the same thing. Specially my youngest son in were he is only 4 years old. I feel that my surgery is affecting my family and work. I wish I would have gone with the vertical sleeve as that was my first choice. I’m just wondering if anyone is having the same symptoms as I am or if anyone has had the lap band remove to have the sleeve done.
