Band might be removed in 2 weeks because of Band erosion 4 months after being banded

[AlienBandit 10]

So I might be getting my band removed for 3 months so my stomach can recover from a very small band erosion. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust back into life without a band?

Any suggestions on how NOT to gain any weight? Do I have any hope in hell of losing weight during that time? Are any of you being rebanded? Why or why not?

Hello! My band was removed in July due to erosion. It was unexpected. I instantly felt hungry. When I healed - I went to my weight management doctor and demanded to be put on medication to help with my hunger. I have been on Meridia (and when I realized that didn't work for me) I went on Phentermine. I have not gained any weight back. I haven't lost the remaining 40 that I needed to lose, however; I haven't gained. It is a grieving process for me still to this day. I miss my band, but my loss was unexpected. Expect to be hungry immediately, and expect to eat exactly the same. Focus on your band diet, and do something immediately to help with your hunger! Also keep up with your exercise! Good luck!!!
