Hey guys I had my band removed yesterday due to major slip. Insurance didn't cover for sleeve due to low bmi. I've had the band for 3 years and I've lost a total of 170lbs and have stayed the same weight for over a year but I'm now nervous that without my band I'll gain some weight back. I've developed good eating habits and go to the gym or workout at home at least 5 days a week... I plan on doing what I need to do to eat right but it's still a shock to my body and I still have that fear! The last 6 months I've had 2cc in a 10cc band to try to fix a minor slip and have had zero restriction and I've gained 5 lbs. I need some prayers for this fear... It's my worst enemy and depression! Any suggestions... Comments or tips or similar story! I need your help

Hey there! I just had my band taken out yesterday due to a major slip. Having a lot of gas shoulder pain and my stomach muscles are very sore. How long did it take you to recover? Plus I've lost 170lbs and I've had the band for 3 years and I'm so nervous about gaining the weight back. Have any advice?

Okay so I've got some.questions! How many calories should we eat?.. I'm on a low carb diet and only eat a starch once a day( crutons on my salad) or a small amount of mashed potatos with dinner. are starches okay once a day?

I was disqualified with the beachbody challenge because of lapband surgery. Nothing states In their rules about weight loss surgery and I used their program to maximum my weightloss. I'm devasted. I lost a total of 170lbs but frown upon Because I had a surgery that saved my life. What's Eveeryones thoughts on this..I wanna know..

Surgery date 9/27/11 after pic taken 4/24/13 170lbs off I'd love to share my story and journey.. [ATTACH]26910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]26910[/ATTACH]

I wanted too but obviously this company is full of crap and they already rewarded the money I worked hard for to someone else who's well know in the beachbody community.. it hurts because my family deserved it but I think it would just bring More disappointment and pain if I kept on.

Banded 9/27/11 295llbs Current.weight 135! Almost to my goal of 125lbs Can't believe I'm finally here! Now save my pennys for skin removal! Seattle Splash 2007.pdf [ATTACH]25317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25320[/ATTACH]

Low carb diet, low fat, lots of fresh veggies, no sugar and tons of Protein and water! Cardio everyday and strength training every other day! Plan ur cheat meals so your more in control!

Best thing I ever did for myself!

Insurance denied skin removal even though I have horrible rashes lower and all around my belly botton. I plan on appealing this, any suggestions or has anyone else experienced this?

You can do this!

Low carb,low fat diet! Add Protein shakes to ur diet to get all the protein you can! Water only and tea/coffee only once in awhile! Limit your sugar and excercise daily Switch up your rountine! Eat colorful! I eat lots of veggies. Sounds pretty intense but after 2 weeks your body gets use to the diet and excercise and u feel off if u don't excercise and you don't crave high fat foods like you use too! Make sure you do some weight training during your weight loss! Muscle burns fat and also it will help on having loads of skin!( I still have skin tho) I allow myself a cheat meal! Only every so often but I plan It so I feel much more in control rather than just giving in to temptations!
