Yes! I lost 100lbs and have kept it off for two years but after I got pregnant with my 2 year old I haven't dropped anything and I'm constantly hungry. It's either too full or too loose. And I see my doctor religiously. He thinks it may have slipped Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't done it yet but it's the plan Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm new to this forum and a bit nervous. I'm set for surgery the 29th of April I've done my cardiac clearance sleep study and all I need is my labs and physician clearance. This will a surgery to remove my lap band and he will be doing the sleeve. I got the band in 2011 and lost 100 lbs but after having a baby, it's just not working anymore.

Happy anniversary to all!! My surgery was 8/15/11 and im so happy i made this decision i have gone from a size 26 to a 16 maybe 14!! And im down 90lbs! I feel great and my doctor has even put my before and after picture on his web site! Hope everyone is doing great as well!

hello all! i havent been on here in a while between work and school there arent enough hours in the day! good to see all the august bandsters doing well! as for me im down 50lbs had some problems with my last fill of 0.4 it was a nighmare! but i had an unfill and hoepfully im back on track!

my surgey was 8/15/11. My first fill was 9/8 and it was 1cc i felt no restriction so i went back on 9/20 and had .5cc put it and i have been losing weight but mostly due to will power because i feel zero restriction and im always hungry. I go back 10/11 and hopefully it helps.

Ugh i am a week out and i had to go to a kids party at chuck e cheese and i had some of the cheese off the pizza it was just a teeny bite and i must have chewed it at least 100 times. I felt sooo guilty but have not done it again. Hey im only human

Hello everyone!!! My name is evelyn im from orange county california, I am 30 (will be 31 at midnight) married for 7 years and i have two wonderful boys 11 and 4. I was 320 at my last appointment in my surgeons office now i am 310. Had my surgery on 8/15/11 on a monday and i was back at work on wednesday. The only thing i took was gas x and liquid tylenol. When i got home from the surgery center i had horrible gas pains so i called my surgeon just to be sure i was not having a pulmonary embolism (lol yes i know im a bit dramatic) but he said tmy symptoms were normal and to ride it out and thats just what i did. i have to admit the first 3 days were the hardest on me psychologically mostly because i kept telling my husband that all i wanted was a double double!!! (those who have ever had in&out burger know whats up) but now the cravings have subsided and its been smooth sailing. p.s im currently experiencing some gnarley pain under my left breast when i take a deep breath. My doc says its most likely the tubing pressing against my diaphram when i inhale and it should resolve itself soon.

i quit 2 months ago and my surgery was august 15th. i figured if im doing something as drastic as surgery for my health i might as well put the smokes down. the only complication i have had so far is coughing when i was waking up from anesthesia. other than that i havent had too much time to worry about it. good luck

i had my surgery on 8/15 and i feel the same way. im on liquids for two weeks (maybe more) im finding it very difficult but im sticking to it!! ugh but at least i now know there is a name for this place (lap band hell) i just wanted to express my gratitutde for this forum

awesome!! its good to know im not the only one!! thank u all sooooo much
