Well, I've been banded since November 2006 and initially lost 80 lbs. I've since gained 40 lbs back and am pretty much fed up with the band. I'm starting on phentermine tomorrow to get to my goal weight. I've heard lots of good things about it and it's better than getting back to the weight I started at. Anyone ever take phentermine?

KisKis I would definately check with your doctor. You shouldn't have heartburn with Lap band. It can be a sign of being too tight, slippage, or dialation. Just my input

Long story short I was banded in November 2006 and initially lost 80 pounds and have gained all but 10 back. I have struggled with being properly restricted and getting married in November so I really need to get my weight back off. This isn't a diet but a life change. I have learned that Lap band is simply a tool and no magic cure. It is very easy to fall back into old habits when you have no restriction. I have a 4 cc band and it's at 4 cc full and no restriction but slight dilation. That's my story!
