Band failure?

[AngelMyI 1]

Try eating something every 2 hours or so not big meals but just a couple oz each time I've lost 17 lb and was banded on Oct 14. The small amounts of food every 2 to 3 hours really helps me and Im not hungry. My engery level is up and feeling good don't give up find something that works for u

Increase your calories by 300-400 daily. You're not eating enough. I no how it feels to want to lose weight and the first thing we think is to cut back the calories. That is true, but not by that much. I think if you add more calories to your diet, you will see a difference. Hope this helps

Thank you for your concern, but this has been a extremely long road. I'm looking for people who have had their doctor deem their band a failure as mine has and what solutions they found, if any.

If people's bands were called a failure, they're probably not hanging around here any longer. Try a different website that has forums for various types of surgery, not just the band.

I'm not sure how your band is a failure if you're eating so little exercising so much, and not losing any weight. Doesn't sound like the band is the problem, since the whole point of the band is to "help" you eat less in a given day. You're certainly not eating much!
