Do You Gain The Weight Back After Its Removed?



Recommended Posts

I'm still unsure whether to get the band.. My biggest concern is if I have to get it removed for whatever reason, will I gain the weight back?

Not if you eat right and exercise. :)

You can't go back to eating like you did pre-band so if you develope good and correct eating habits while banded and continued them if you had to have band removal you should be able to maintain your weight.

i hope I never have to find out.... but TKW is spot on. If you diet and exercise you should be able to maintain your weight.

If you get it removed you'll be hungry again.

I lost 69 pounds with the lap band. Had it removed July 9. Have lost 8 more pounds. It's all up to you and always will be. I went vegan which makes losing weight effortless but veganism requires a commitment to the cause, whether it be not wanting to eat dead animals or being healthy. Eat right, exercise and pay attention. Bottom line. Good luck!

Hi my name is Cheryl, I had mine removed July 18 th and I feel like, I know I have gained weight back. My clothes are tight. I feel like **** and a loser. I had the band for over 2yrs. And lost 100+ . I really hate that I had to have it removed. ( for medical reasons ). The feeling that I can eat anything is really killing me Has anyone else had this happen to them??

      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.
