Had my surgery at Reading Hospital anyone near this area.

I Truly wish I was having luck with my band. I just can't seem to lose weight. I finally have where I am not throwing up all the time but now I can't lose the weight. So devastated Ceppa wants to do the sleeve but I am scared.

How many calories should we try to stay at with the lap band?

What do u eat for 600 calories?

Does anyone else go from being comfortable with there band to so tight u can't keep anything down. I am like a roller coaster some days are great others just plain stink. Any way to avoid this roller coaster.

Hi everyone I was banded in december 2009. I was doing so well I had lost 90 lbs and then after to unfills I have gained about 30 back. Now I don't feel restriction and there might be a problem with the band. Waiting to hear from doctor. I am very disappointed in myself I swore I would never go backwards and look what happened. So I am looking for support too. I never realized till after the band that I am truly addicted to food. Scary!!

I wish I could come but I work 3 to 11pm Monday thru Friday. Any meetings in morning or on the weekend?

What time are the meetings?

Thank you I needed to hear its not hopeless. Haven't gone to a group cause I work 2nd shift I would like to though. I am gonna journal everything and really start exercise. Thank you again.

Looking to find a support buddy. Feel like I have lost hope on loosing weight anymore. I have gained 30lbs back and am very depressed. HELP!

Thanks I appreciate it. You are right I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and fight back.

Honestly I went from doing really well without exercising and eating whatever I wanted within reason. To puking every other time I ate and indigestion all the time and gas. I got a stomach bug and they unfilled me several cc's then it was no holds barred. I was eating with no restrictions for a good month or two. Gained 15lbs and got filled again and started having the problems all over gas, reflux etc. I was in pain and they unfilled me again. Now I am up 30lbs in 4-5 months. I am going next week for a barium swallow to see if my band slipped. Regardless whether it has or not I just feel like I am defeated and need the kick in the ass I need to get where I need to be. Anything u need to know just ask.

I was banded at reading but recently have started working at Lehigh and am looking for a support team.

I was banded in 2009 lost 90lbs and have gained back 30 over the last 6 months. I am ashamed and frustrated. I actually had to buy a big pant size. My doctor says a have a very slow metabolism which doesn't help. I also like my band tight to keep me in line. I have been having so a hard time eating I was eating whatever went down. Mostly bad stuff of course. Help I need a good kick in the rear to motivate instead of my feeling like a failure.

I was banded in 2009 and have had a lot of trouble. Even though I lost 90lbs pretty quickly. Now I have gained 30 back. Anyone have suggestions to get back on track. I feel like a failure. My doctor wants to do the sleeve my family doesn't want me too. I just want to be a normal size and to stop obsessing over food and weight. Help please!
