Has anybody else had lap band surgery and not lost weight? I had my band placed 7/25/05. I have lost 12 pounds, period. I see my surgeon, I see the nutritionist, I exercise, I follow the rules. I also see an endocrinologist. I was 211 the day of surgery, I am 199 now, and have been for over 2 1/2 years. My surgeon says he has no idea why, my endocrinologist says the same thing. I am currently using Symlin off label, for weight loss, prescribed by my endocrinolgist. I have also tried Byetta. The good news is my blood sugars are very stable, the bad news is no weight loss. Oh well, I just keep telling myself at least I haven't gained! Has anyone else experienced this? Please, tell me I'm not alone!! It is VERY depressing reading other peoples success stories!
