  1. Hello everyone, I had lap band surgery on 9-1-09 and i lost only about 25 pounds, I have not been the best at following the lap band rules and i have really gotten off track and am really starting to gain weight,, I know i have to have more control over myself and I am, I am starting to diet but i wanna use my band as a tool again and get back on the wagon, I am embaressed to go see my Dr because i feel like a failure. I am filled to the max with no restriction, it has been about a year since my last fill, any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance

    Someone Please Give Advice

    But I have no restriction at all, If I wanted i could eat a whole large pizza, Is there any other options I could try like take all fluid out and start over with the fills?

    Stressed Out over Stress Test!

    Hello there, go ahead and ease your mind, I went through the same thing last week, I have a right branch bundle block, and from what I understand it is a electical problem with your heart, but it does not effect blood flow, as far as the nuclear stress test, i had that done yesterday, and its not hard, you walk on a treadmill and when you reach your target heart rate they inject this radioactive fluid in your I.V. and then you wait 45 minutes and they take pictures of your heart, its not painful, but I got a metal taste in my mouth after it, but I think you will be ok, just talk to your doctor and get a better understanding of what is going on, and be glad that they are taking precaution before surgery.
  4. I am being banded on 9/1/09 and I have never had any type of surgery before and I am a nervous wreck about it. I am 26 yrs old and people tell me that I should have no worries or problems, so could anyone who has already been banded tell me what to expect after surgery, pain levels? depression? complications? just anything that could let me know what i am getting into! Thanks
