I am two years post-operative. I am not sure if my level of support for the lap-band has been satisfactory. I had the bad put on Jan 2010, I only lost 30lbs total weight. I was very disappointed. I thought that I would at least lose about 55lbs..however, I traded eating for drinking alcohol. And now, I am gaining the weight back. I have gained at least 15lbs within the last year. I think that at this point my band is too tight. I am eating really small plates of food, but I am continuing to throw up and even gurgle after most of my meals. I complained to my surgeon but his bed side manner was not all that great. And I had contemplated changing to another doctor. I am just wondering if anyone else is experiecing anything of the sort? I am trying to come-up with a plan to continue to battle this weight. queenv319

Thanks guys, I will definitely take your advice into consideration. The bad thing is I did not start drinking until after I had the band. But I do understand that alcohol does carry a lot of calories and carbs. And I have made the decision to give it up at least only drink it minimaly. And try to get back on this train. I have come too far to be defeated. Keep offering sound advice, it does help. Thanks again.
