ohiobluegal 4 Posted September 10, 2012 I was banded at least 5 years ago....can't even remember the year. I did well at first then I started stretching my pouch since I never did get that full feeling. Two years ago I had a total unfill. I am even contemplating having the band removed. I actually lost 50 lbs last year on my own...exercise and eating better. I started getting horrible feet pain; stopped exercising. I have arthritis in my feet now. And, I have gained all the weight back. Some people have succeeded at this but I have not. I am wondering if I should try it again? What advice can you give me? I am planning a big over seas trip next summer and would like to lose weight and be healthy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyvic 226 Posted September 10, 2012 Try it again:) life lessons learned you sound like you have the desire and drive to go for it, you know the rules, trials, and errors. I think maybe there is more support about lapband, too. 1 DesertRose80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gigi_Girl 77 Posted September 10, 2012 Go back to your surgeon and have a discussion. See what he/she recommends. I have learned that whatever you decide, get your head 100% behind the plan, otherwise don't bother with lip service. 1 DesertRose80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiobluegal 4 Posted September 11, 2012 I went and met with my surgeon today. Had a nice chat . Was supposed to get a fill but the machine was broken. I have to wait two weeks. That's ok...I have waited this long. I wasn't prepared to do two days of liquids so its ok. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
