HELP my esophageal Stacking is hindering my succes
shrinkingwoman replied to taffiegirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Honey...You are TOO TIGHT...The food is stretching your upper pouch...in time your band WILL SLIP if you maintain your current restriction. You need to have an unfill-at least half the saline removed from your band, and give your pouch at least 4 weeks to rest and shrink. During this time you will need to limit your food intake to no more than 1 to 1 1/2 cups at each meal...Sure this doesnt sound fun, but this problem is correctable without surgery...band slippage is not....Best of Luck Theresa R -

Hi tmg...My way to overcome platueaus seems to be a little out of the norm...I CHEAT..I give my body a tiny "break" from the hard work its doing...I still maintain my workouts, but I take a full day-sometimes two-off from dieting and enjoy my sweets or whatever I miss ....then I restart with new commitment...usually seems to get me past my stall.... -
At my heighest weight I weighed 373#...I weighede 180 when I had my TT done...I had originally planned on having RNY, and when I had consulted w/my surgeon on it he had set a 185# goal weight for me...I just always kept that weight in mind for myself as a goal...I'm happy with where I am weight-wise...if I could lose more in only my thighs I would, but unfortunately with more loss comes more wrinkles in my face area, so I'm simply working on staying within a 5 lbs. range from 180.
