My surgery was July 11 in mx. The first 2 to 3 mths were great. I lost 41lbs. Went from a size 26 to an 18. I've had no weightloss in 3 months. Calories are typically at 1000. I know I need to get more Protein in and workout but I feel like the scale is never going to move again. 6mths out I'm worried I've lost my prime opportunity to lose weight. I was a previous Lapbander and that wasn't successful due to complications. ???? just feeling like I've now had two weightloss surgeries and I'm still obese!!! Anyone still lose a decent amount of weight after 6mths?

Thanks for the reply!! Its encouraging to know it's possible!! ????

Hello! I was banded in April of 2008. starting weight 267. things were going pretty good though I never seemed to find a happy medium. I have a 10cc band, and was losing great ,I got down to 199...in the process somehow things became too tight and I had a full unfill. I have since had 3 complete unfills. the last one 5wks ago. I was pbing-throwing up constantly, one day it would feel like my band was wide open and the next day complete restriction....just no consistancy. my Dr said he felt I had a slipped band and would unfill and see if it heals itself. he said he didnt want to do an upper GI to save me money, if we could just unfill and check back in 6wks. my question is how does a slipped band heal itself, is this possible? I am back up to 245lbs and very discouraged. I just want the band to work with me!!

thank you for your response. one more ?...how will the dr know everything is good to go. The way it sounds is I am to go in and have a fill. he said we would probably start at 4cc. Does this seem like normal protocal? I only had to do liquids for 24hrs after the unfill.
