8 Months Out And Have Barely Lost Any Weight. Help!
Ruth613 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on July/7/ 2011, pre-op I lost 10 lbs, then in about 3 months post op another 10 lbs, then after ward I stareted gaining back slowly but surely and now I am back to my pre-op weight. I don't feel a great restriction, although I have some and with some food it is greater than others. I have 5cc in a 10 cc band already which was done very gradual 3-4 fills. Is it possible that I have streched my pouch somehow? I just started exercising. Zumba for about one week and a little more concious of my food intake. since then I have gianed about 2 lb. any suggestions. thanks -
How do I know if I have a slip?
Ruth613 replied to Missfroggy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It seems like irritation than anything else to me. probabely you are still swollen around the band area. I had a similar problem 2 weeks ago. My doctor told to me to go back on clear liquids and it really helped. I think you should give yourself some time to heal. Good Luck! -
Nifrex is also an iron supplement that happenes to be very easy on stomach with less chance of constipation. you may want to ask your doctor about it. Good Luck with every thing. can't wait to be on this side with you guys hopefully soon.

"NERVES" - Surgery June 17th!
Ruth613 replied to WinningLoser's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am scheduled to have my surgery in two weeks, however now I have cold feet. Some people around me are telling me I can lose the weight without any surgery and post op pain/ possible complications. They say : If there is a will there is a way. I am so confused. HELP PLEASE ! -
I have been struggling with weight most of my life. Although not obese, I always envy my friends who were very slim and could feet to pretty much any outfit. After I married, I got pregnant pretty much right away and started gaining weight. my weight went from 150 to 212 with first pregnancy and 2 years after with my second pregnancy my weight went all the way to 233. lost about 17 lb after child birth and i have been on a yo yo diet pretty much ever after. I have tried many diet including weight watchers, LA weight loss, Atkins, suger busters, nutritionist and ...... I am a good loser and have lost up to 45 lb at one point 5 yrs ago but I have gained every thing plus.
