    starting w/ 60-70lbs to lose

    Hi I'm having surgery october 17th. I have about 60lbs to lose. My sister had it done about 1 year in the half ago. Her loss was around 60lbs and she lost her weight to me pretty fast like a lot of other people here on the post. Recently she found herself gaining up to 170llbs but decided she did not want to be that heavy after all, so she had a refill done..and I'd say in about 2 weeks she was from 170 to 153lbs. So good luck and I hope that helped.

    Removed Band After Goal Weight?

    What I'm thinking is-- if you were to have your band removed you have to 100 percent know!! that you will do the right eating thing and definitely make the life long commitment to healthy eating and exercise. So any doubt that you will be unable to commit will take you back to where you started if not more. I think it helps if you have been exercising along with making the right food choices now and the length of time you've been doing it, how comfortable you have become and having a serious plan in place for when you fall off the band wagon. We all know those times will come because we're human. Good luck

    Thank you so much Dr. NOLA..I will inform her immediately and maybe she will take this major life change more seriously.

    Her band is from 5/06. Her last x-ray was 9 months ago to check for band slipage but it was negative. The reason she had the x-ray done was because she was vomiting a lot. So she still does and I don't know how she lives with it. I asked her about her eating habits...her reply was: when she eat little and slowly..no problems but most of the time fast and more food than she should be taking in. So I guess what I'd like to know is what are some of the complications besides dehydration she could end up with although the girl is always eating. She has never been in the hospital for anything since her surgery. I was thinking that kind of vomiting would eventually cause problems with the esophagus, teeth..and other digestive organs??or what

    My sister keep vomiting and has been since she 's had the surgery. She is at her weight goal already. I asked her why she keep vomiting daily sometimes up to ten times a day. She says it's because of what she's eating and the amount. Like I said she's maintaining her weight but I know all that vomiting I told her is going to cause a serious effect on her if she doesn't start eating the way she's suppose to. Oh don't worry I want look you up to verify who you are. and If I mispelled something..oh well. p.s. I also want to know if you think that BMI will ever get lowered for people like me with 50 lbs to lose so we can maybeee jump on the lap band wagon.
