I am so disappointed with my Band ..its been 2yrs for me 2nd attempt GLBI cannot excercise due to a spinal condition which affects my feet..

I haVe stayed the same weight for most of this time.. I am abt 100kg 5"4

The weight is just not budging.. the only way I have ever lost it is on LL meal packs..I paid nearly ยฃ6000 for this band which went wrong on the first go..

This Journey has been a total disaster.. I am 5.5mls filled in a 10 ml sl band.

Any advise would be help I first started in 2009 May..with the Balloon that did not work either THIS WAS FAULTY.. IN BELGIUM i WAS RIPPED OF.

SO PLEASE hELP......

Congrats to lady that lost 120 lbs I'm so sorry to Richardson it's so sad that for some reason the band doesn't work for some people for what ever reason. I hope you have had fill under flore scope to check for leaks. I have heard that for some people they never get restriction. Not sure why. I hope you find some way to resolve your wt issue as you want to. Also have you had X-ray to see if band was placed correct or sloped. I knw all of this cost money I wish you good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
