I had lap band surgery at the age of 19 at the end of 2009. I weighted 101 kilos and was having a hard time both physically and emotionally dealing with this. After on off dieting since the age of seven I finally saw Dr Fris at Northridge Medical Centre in Auckland (New Zealand). And here I am nearly two years later.
I have to date lost 23 kilos and am hoping to reach my goal of 65kilos. I have recently had issues with my band being too tight and have been struggling to find a good measure. I had a third of the fluid taken out of my band to rest it, this led me to gain a couple kilos. I then had another small fill and two weeks later I still havent lost the extra couple of kilos and im very concerned that the weight isnt coming off anymore.
Desperately looking for support and insight.
Thanks
