Really need help- gaining wt and getting depressed and discouraged...
medic26541 replied to Bandme08's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on 12/5/07 and am still going through the same thing. I am finally starting to feel some restriction after 4 fills and 9cc in a 14cc band. But am depressed because i have onl lost 10lbs since surgery and have been yo yoing with that. I too have laxed on my diet and am eating stuff i shouldn't. I am trying to do better but it is hard, as you know. If you need to vent or share or just want to talk. I would be happy to converse with you as i know how you feel. feel free to e-mail me or pm me Brooke medic26541@yahoo.com -
I too have the 14cc band. I just got filled to the 9cc point and am starting to feel a little restriction finally!! I was banded on Dec 5th, 2007 and have only lost 55lbs total, including preop diet. and only 10 since surgery, give and take 10lbs I am frustrated as all get out and am hoping that i will start losing soon. I am starting the exercise routine a little harder in hopes that that will also help, but like most on here am a true food addict. I have started to gain control, thank goodness, and hopefully soon my weight will show that. Brooke medic26541@yahoo.com

I am in Murfreesboro and go to the support groups and the Bariatric Clinic here in town. They are next door to my surgeons office but are open to everyone who has the band or is thinking about it or whatever -

Hey Brooke
I had so much fun getting down the other night LOL If I just had a few pple to work out w/ it would be easy. But I have no one here that wants to work out. LOL Maybe the next meeting will be that fun.
the plastic surgeon meeting went well she is really nice. She wants me to wait a yr before having surgrey. I dont want to wait a yr. She said to get the best results it would take a yr out. But i really like her alot. and her work looked good too.
Well gotta go hope to see you soon
Bye for now
Kim

Tina, What happened with your fill? My surgeon couldn't find my port membrane and thought my port may have flipped. I went under floroscopy today and everything was fine, the surgeon just thinks he may have had a bad day or that it was just seated deep. Hopefully everything is ok with your port

i go next thursday under floroscopy to get a fill and see what is going on. the surgeon said possibly having to retack it down, that makes me kinda nervous, thanks for replying and i hope that mine goes as easy as yours did Brooke
