I have been banded for almost 6 years. It wasn't quick by know means I am a slow loser. But I haven't gained any back. I haven't had any complications from the band and I do not regret doing it at all, before I did my band I also did a lot of research I wanted to know what to expect and other bandsters experience with that everyone is different, I remember reading horrible stories but then again I read a lot more successful stories. I am sorry of the band hasn't worked out for you, I wish you luck with the sleeve. I just figure I would share my story.

I am with you, my dr very little amounts with the adjustments, so I am also a very slow looser.

I have a14 band also, don't get discouraged it took me a long time to really feel it. Just remember everyone is different. When my dr did my fills he never put large amounts in they were very small. 4 years later I still am getting fills still loosing slowly, but hey I will take that.

Omg I hear you on that, sooooo close but just can't get there, I'm floating at the 205 also. It's driving me crazy.

I would give my dr a call. I had my surgery 41/2 years ago and just started with acid and nite cough went back to the dr . He gave me a couple options one was take some out ( fill). Be very careful take acid meds and no eating or drinking after a certain time at night , that I had to play with for awhile. But I am happy to say I didn't get the un fill and I haven't had a problem in over a week now. I went back on liquid for a few days then mushies and now eating normal again. Minus eating after 6 and drinking after 7. Good luck I hope this helps.

So glad I saw this and I am not the only one out there struggling!!!!! I was banded October 2007 .Lost about 75lbs . + 5 -5 . I gotta get my act together.

Its not the easy way out, its a tool we still have to work hard to drop weight.We still diet and still excercise, and still struggle.

I have to say, I am a slow looser very slow.I did not thought i was gonna stop loosing myself..Well its been 2 1/2 years and I am still loosing slow sometimes I dont have a loss. Just stick with it, dont give up and dont worry what other people think. remember you did this for yourself.Good luck on your journey.
