Band removed after 10 years due to port infection. Gained all weight back in about 9 months while trying not to. At exactly 1 year had rny gb and am doing way better than I ever did with the band. Woulda coulda shoulda had I known the first time around.
I drink one large cup a day (8 weeks out, but started at week 3). Powdered non-dairy creamer and Splenda. I needed some other beverage because I was completely over the crystal light and protein shakes.
