No it wont. It does happen but if you look up band erosion it will tell you that most erosion comes from being too tight and over eating. Some people like their bands tight but they also have to know they cant eat a lot with a tight band or this will happen. I dont want my band tight because I want to be able to eat without issues.

Erosion mostly happens to people who over eat with their bands. It's actually only 4% which is a small number of erosion or complications from the band. If you are too tight and continually over eat yes you can cause erosion but its very unlikely if you follow the program like you are supposed to. Yes some people do have to get their bands removed but most failures are fromt he patient not the band.

I have been banded for three years. I am a success. We need to know what you are confused about and any questions you have. Ask away we will all help you.

If you are sick they might not want to do it. I would call them and ask.

I think we all should chip in to get him a psychiatrist before he goes to jail for pan handling lmao

Did you not get your band unfilled when you were first pregnant? If not then I would go for an unfill right away. Its not good to have a full band while pregant.

Thanks everyone it has been hard work!

If we all send him a dollar he can get enough money lmfao. Idiot scammers even on lapband talk lol

There is no need to continue shakes after you start eating regular food and that is only liquid calories that you could be eating. I get 90 grams of protein in every single day with food. I dont know of any doctor that wants you to rely on protein shakes for the rest of your life. What is the point of getting the band if you have to drink protein shakes forever you might as well do slim fast and forget the surgery.

Because if you continue to eat sugar you will not lose weight. Sugar turns to fat period. You should not be drinking full sugary drinks after being banded. They have to go. I think losing weight is more important then drinking chocolate milk before bed. Drink a chocolate protein shake.

But whatever you are buying you can get three, four or five meals out of. I spend less money now since the band then when I was eating junk. You have to look at the whole picture. If you are only cooking for yourself and you buy a whole chicken that in its self can be less then a dollar a meal with about 7 meals. I go to flea markets and get fresh produce which is cheap and good. I buy snacks that are cheap. You can certainly eat healthy foods for reasonable money. You are eating less so it goes a lot further.

Then if its Just A Job why don't you just give your notice and let someone who really wants to work have a chance to have a job. I don't understand your mentality that this surgery is more important then having employment. It doesnt matter what HR told you if you are not entitled to FMLA they do not have to hold your job. If you are so quick to rush to surgery and not think about your coworkers or that employment in this economy is important then it would be better to just give notice, have your surgery and then find other employment. Just my opinion and Im not saying it rudely for those who feel the need to jump on me like you know me. Or why didnt you have your surgery before obtaining employment. Never burn your bridges when it comes to working.

I usually order fish of any kind but I dont do well with any kind of meat.

If it is bright read blood go to the ER it may have nothing to do with you throwing up the food but everything to do with something else

My saying is things happen for a reason. You will be fine and you have done a world of good to yourself by learning to eat healthy. I would make sure you only see the surgeon now and not the nurse practitioner.

It is beautiful

Well the real question here is how much do you need your job because even though she said you wont lose your job over it they are not reirquired to hold your position if you have not been there a year and qualify for FMLA. She could tell you that and then hire someone else. Do you need your job? If so I would wait.

My friend that had her band done the same time as me had all the fluid taken out, was on full liquids for about 4 months and it did reverse the problem. The esophagus dilation just needs time of no hard foods going down it to recover in most cases. As far as the stomach prolapsing that possibly could be corrected also with resting the pouch and not cosuming foods. It's worth a try if you can do it on full liquids for a while to rest your esophagus and stomach. My friend is okay now but she did lose major weight on full liquids for 4 months lol

I do not think you will find a doctor that will say leave the fluid in because you can not get enough calories in to nourish your baby. Its not healthy to have fluid in your band while pregnant. Dont worry about gaining weight worry about your babies health.

I always take my pills whole. I have never crushed them or taken liquids ever and I have no issues.

Yes it is normal to feel hungry. You will be hungry until you reach the green zone. Right now its about controling what you eat.

I am mostly a vegan with my band. I buy the morning star meats, make my own black bean casserole and black bean burgers. I also crave meat which was a sign I was very B-12 deficient. However I can not tolerate meat and I am okay with that. It just doesnt work for me. I get at least 90 grams of protein a day being a vegan. If you crave meat then eat it but it doesnt sit well with me.

Looking good mama
