"sensa"sprinkles Along With Lap Band



Recommended Posts

I was just curious...has anyone tried the SENSA sprinkles along with your lap band? I have 15 lbs more to lose but i don't want to get another fill. I've already lost 83 lbs with the band itself.

If you google SENSA, you'll find all kinds of reviews why they don't work. I'm sure the makers of SENSA can tell you how and why they DO work, but I wouldn't trust it. I wouldn't waste my money. Just my opinion. Why don't you want another fill?

These things NEVER work. But its just so enticing. Seriously, why not try it if you want to? If you can afford to spend the money whatever the outcome, then why not?

I'm very intrigued by a product here called Slimstix, lol. I just want to lose 5lb.

And...... this is on a whole nother scale, but I've recently been prescribed testosterone cream - I have very low blood testosterone levels (way below normal) and am having all sorts of problems because of it, but the main thing I've noticed is very obvious loss of muscle and strenght and a very obvious (albeing small, not registering on the scale) gain of belly fat. Of course I want my libido back, my bone density to improve, my mood to be better and all that, but what I'm really hoping to see is a flatter belly, lol.

I hate going for the "fills" cause it always seems like i have to argue with the doctor about it not being tight enough. I've gotten at least 8 fills since August 2011 when I had the surgery. I LOVE MY BAND. I've lost 83 pounds and I'm 15 lbs away from my goal. But I dread the fills. Plus the barium gives me diarrhea (sorry).

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
