I'm glad to see you are losing with an empty band! I am so scared they will take all of mine out because of the reflux and I will blow up! LOL! What's your diet like? I lost 5 pounds last week from cutting my calories by replacing a meal with a shake and I cut out cheerios. I know that I will get tired of the shakes soon so what do you eat and how many times a day?

Has anyone heard about this? It seems that The Lap Band is having higher rates of complications and the Gov't has issued a subpoena for records. Here is the article:

http://www.aboutlawsuits.com/allergan-lap-band-subpoena-27019/

the LA times reported it as the clinics that are associated with 1-800-Get-thin clinics and ad campaigns are not reporting the risks so Allergan(lap-band) is no longer selling it to those clinics & the FDAwants to see how often these complications actually happen to make sure everyone is warning patients of all the risk its due to the 5 patients that died of the clinic that made national news I don't think the FDA will find any higher rate of complications then already published I feel those patients died due to carelessness of their surgeon( one had a lacerated liver and they sent her home)

Once the band honeymoon is over, usually about 6 months to 1 year after surgery, it becomes will power more than band power to lose weight. The hype on the boards of this forum from band honeymooners probably misinformed me more than any of the ads from Allergan.
