I have gained almost all my weight back I wish I had just waited and done the sleeve. The band has been a complete waste of money for me.

I had my lap band done August 2015 and went from 275 to 240 and then did not lose anymore I am actually now 255 and I just don't know what to do anymore.

I have had my band for a couple years now and I have had very little success and feel I eat worse than I did before I got the band. I wish I had gotten the sleeve instead and now Idk how to getting a revision done. I always feel deprived of food with the band and only eat slider foods so I feel satisfied. Idk what to do I am disappointed in myself and the band. Any suggestions?

Hello I just recently had a stomach virus which was absolutely awful. It was coming out both ends(sorry TMI). Anyways I was dry heaving and vomiting (mostly just liquids no hunks of food). Now, I am sore in my chest area and am hoping all is okay with my band. I was unable to eat the whole day I was sick. I was able to eat a few bites of salad w/grilled chicken and then I was full and some food was coming back up. Should I stick with shakes, and soft foods for the next day or 2?

I'm at 6.2 and I need to stick to the proper diet I haven't lost any weight in about a month. Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I feel it is easier with the band. I make smarter choivea but i can still eat some of the things i like. If someone is battling a sincere food addiction then the band may not work for them. The band helps me witj controlling my intake and i like to exercise because i feel like it makes a difference. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I think that I'm at my green level right now but I'm not sure I have that point where at the beginning of eating my band feels too tight like nothing wants to go through and then after I eat a few bites things start to go through but I still know when I hit my hunger point which is a lot less than what I used to eat does this sound familiar to anyone Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Thanks yes i feel like the inflammation has gone down.

Thanks thats how I was thinking. Appreciate the feed back.

I was banded Aug. 6, 2015 I have only lost about 30lbs and I am having trouble w making wise food choices. I feel down and I am scared I'm stretching my pouch out or damagingbit. I don't know how to fix my mentality about food.

Thank you for your post o have been banded since August of 2015 and I have a feeling my band is too tight at times I feel like it takes to look mg for my food to go down and may be packing up. I have an appt Wed and plan to have some fluid removed.

U will losw. Dr. Wright is awesome he did my lap band on Aug. 6th 2015. I have gone from 274 to 235.

I was banded on August 6, 2015 and i have my days when I begin to wonder if I did the right thing. My weight loss has slowed doen it feels like and I am concerned that im able to eat to much. Anyways most days i am happy with my decision to be banded and i know it was neeed. I love this app it is nice to feel a sense of belonging.

Awesome

I am slowly losing interest in food

I have never been on bp meds so my doctor said to increase my salt intake. I did an my problem has improved. Thank you for ur reply.

I feel very dizzy sometimes. I manage to drink about 50 oz of water a day.

What you are going through is normal. I experienced the exact same thing. I had my first fill and then started to lose weight agin. It's a process and you just have to try and control what your eating as much as possible. I go in on the 15th of this month to see if I need another fill. I think I do but its not as bad as it was the first time. I hope all goes well just stay positive it gets better.

Awesome

That's cool. I haven't weighed in a while but I was down 22 pounds. I journal my food and it does help. I had my measurements done I'm curious to see how many inches I've lost.

Does anyone get down at special functions I get moody when I go to events with food. I know I am an emotional eater and I thing ng this is why I feel that way. I am just hoping it gets better.

I have its been like 100/74 and yesterday my pulse was 51

I felt the exact same way. I was banded Aug 6th also and I just had a fill last week. I was at a stand still on my weight loss until I had the fill. I am very fearful that I am not gonna succeed with the band. My hardest times are when I at birthday parties, or out to dinner.....I get moody and depressed because I can't eat like I used to but yet I'm happy at other times.

Awesome can't wait to be where you are.

Well i drank coffee and havent quit yet.
