:help: I have posted here before about my daughter.I a Worried. The band is not working for her.She has lost about 25 in the last year. I see what she eats and I do not see that she is eating that much. I do not know how to help her. I do not want to ride her about What did you eat today.Did you exercise? We are very close and I do not want to cause hard feeling because it worked for me and not her.We are going back to the doctor for 3 cc's in her band next week.I wish he would run some test on her band .We have already had her tyroid checked.What could be wrong?:help:

I did not have a un fill and I may have a slipped band.I had to have it unfilled after the tummy tuck so it would slip back in place.

Have you had or are you considering WLS and live in the East Texas Area. I would like to start a support group in Kilgore.Is there anyone out there that is interested.:bananapartyhat: Thank's Linda

Mom and daughter banded remember us. I have not been here in a while. After a year and two months she was told it will not, did not work for her.Her choice is gastric bypass,NOT She had it emptied and opted to start over. He said this will not work but she is going him wrong I Pray. She has lost all of 15 lbs with 3.0 cc in her band. Banded March 2006. Muffin Birdie Please help I think she may need a mentor. ladysplenda:speechles

She goes back Monday June 18 th for her second-second fill.I hope it works this time. She will be at 1 cc.

He put a 4cc band on her. She started at around 260.The good thing about the band. You can have a do over. Will it work. We will see. Wish her luck.

She admits she did not try hard enough. Eating at 9 pm. Eating fried foods.Not walking. We asked for a do over. He said he had never emptied the band and started over but it is worth a try.He did not seem to positive. There will be no more surgeries.

Thank's Mandy, He is wanting to do gastric bypass.She is my only child.We dont want to go there.

Some good suggestions. I think I will not go into the Dr's office with her. Some harsh one's too. Mandy and I do not talk about this unless she brings it up. But I am concerned and so is she.She has been to a dietician and she is taking a nutrition class at college. This is her journey and something she may have to deal with the rest of her life.I just want to be there to support her and give advice if she ask and she does ask. This has nothing to do with my weight loss. I did not have that much to lose.Thank's for the suggestions.

I have a 19 year old and she is getting it.

I am considering laser hair removel. Does it work? Does it hurt??????? What were your results. How many years since you had it?:help:

Hello from Kilgore banded one year.Piece of cake surgery.

I eat it alot. No problems.100 cal bags just right for me.

I went shopping with my Christmas money. I got a 14 of the rack, to big ok a 12 then. OMG I fit in a size 10 for the first time in my life. Bless my band.I so want a tummy tuck. I cannot ever remember wearing a single digit size. But it may be possible. Thank you guys for all your support. Im still stuck at 155 and need advice it has been four months now. But that is not such a bad place to be stuck.If this is it. I will accept it. But I will keep trying.

Thank's everyone.

I am one year banded. I cant eat bread ,steak,brisket. Cant have sugar because I am diabetic.(just a little now) I have to chew small bites slow.I have to remind myself to eat.Or I feel my stomach growl but no hunger pains. Good luck

I heard he had plastic surgery and it did not do well. Have you heard how he passed? A legend in his own time.

Both but take advantage of it while you can. I have learned papaya extract from walmart helps with the spitting up.

I laughed till I almost wet my pants. The Snake oil salesman. She better learn to get her facts strait before she pops off. He said he was going to sue her ___ ass. She didnt bring up his hair why did he have to bring up her weight.

I was at the airport in Las Vegas a few months ago.I found a book with hot skinny young chicks on the floor next to one of the slot machines.I picked it up and out it in the chair next to me.Just in case someone came back for it. HE DID a nice looking young man. He had on a NO FAT CHICKS tshirt.Being a former fat chick and a mother of a soon to be former fat chick.I thought just who the hell does he think he is. Stupid if he cant look past the weight to find a girl that may make his perfect mate. I hope he marries some skinny young model that cheats on him with a nice looking heavy set HUNK. So the I would not date anyone that would not date me heavy.Because if you did gain the weight back. He will start putting you down.

You will be amazed at the changes the next year will bring. I was banded last December. Good Luck

San Antonio runs some reallly good specials.

I have been diabetic for twenty years. I was banded a year ago. I WAS taking 70 units of insulin 2 amaryl and two avandia plus high blood pressure meds and crestor. I now take two amaryl. Best thing I ever did. When I was in the hospital the man in the next room had gastric bypass and died. I had the lapband and went home and have since lost 65 pounds and gained my health back. Do not let them talk you out of this. 1 in 10,000 or more vs 1 in 200 with gastric bypass(major surgery). No higher than any minor surgery.

There are plenty of good chewables. Liquid yuck.
