pancreas and lapband i have having pancreas problems and wondering if any of this was caused by lapband. The duct has atrophied and it is not making enough enzymes

I'm very worried about my daughter . She had the sleeve revision from lap. She has only lost 25 lbs since January after losing 100 lbs and regaining 40 with lap. She eats very little at meals. I'm afraid she is eating slider foods and drinking too much alcohol

Thank you for the replys

I am being banded tomorr. Very nervous! I was just wondering, does everyone need to get plastic surgery? Is there instances where the skin won't sag

My daughter noticed today I have a turkey neck from losing weight. Now when I look in the mirror that's all I see! Does anyone know if the lifestyle lift is my only hope?

But will cream tone up the fat

I know your not supposed to but I find no difference when I have water with my meals. I still fill satisfied for 4 hours. Is it because its bad for the band or stretches the stoma?

Does anyone know if using a hot tub has any effect on the band? Will it tighten or loosen in the water? Just wondering now that vacation is here

I got a fill about three weeks ago and don't know if it was overfill. Symptoms are sore throat perhaps from regurg. Throwing up a lot but can eat normally sometimes. Not hungry except for night snacking. I can eat more than a cup of food. I just can't tell if its careless eating or too tight. It took me a while for restriction. I have 12.5 in a 14 band. I am losing very slow. Just 33 lbs from oct. should I call my doctor? He only is in on Fridays.

Does anyone remember the name of Japanese or Chinese noodles mentioned on this forum that was good for you? Dug out my wok to make quick meals.

Are they low carb

I have 12.25 in a 14 band. Not there yet but very close. Maybe .1 will do it. My daughter has 5.5 in hers and she is there

My doctor gave me a prescrip because my mind is racing every night and I can't sleep. I must say it works. No problems because I'm banded.

I try to do that but people are always blasting me for wasting soup and salad.

Sometimes restaurants serve salad and soup before entree. How do most of you handle that? Do you just eat the entree?

How could that be? Weren't you exhausted all the time?

I noticed when I get up in the morning I have a slight sore throat. Is the band causing this?

No I'm 5 months in

It was an awful easter. Nothing would go down.. I barely ate. I had a couple of stuck episodes this week. If I go to the surgeon, can they tell if your too tight or just not eating carefully?

I have not been waiting a full minute between bites. Will that cause me to get stuck so frequently

Do you really only take bites the size of an eraser?

Thanks for input

I know portion control is my job but so many people post that they cannot physically eat more than a few spoonfuls. Is that being too tight?

What does it mean when you hiccup but still can eat more? It's so confusing. If I am able to eat more than 1 cup I assume not in the green zone . But I have episodes of getting.stuck often and then I think I'm too tight.

Thanks for posting that
