Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

who here has been banded for at least 2 years and has had NO complications?

I'm truly happy for all successful banders, but even though some of us have issues not caused by slippage or erosion, does not mean we have "behavioral" issues with our bands. We are all different and there is NO "one size fits all" bariatric procedure!

I haven't been on the site for a very long time, so I figured I would at least check in with this topic.

I was banded in July 2009 and have lost a total of 118 pounds. No complications!

Love my band :)

I'm just getting back to the site as well. I've been banded for 3 years and 5 days and have not had any band issues. I like what hope2 said - I've had lots of brain issues too! Seeing the doc today, probably for a small fill. Have started exercising now that it's summer and the pool is open.

Hello All,

I have been banded over five years. NO PROBLEMS. I am afraid to think how much weight I would have gained with out the band. I am gratefull to who ever came up with lap bands and my wonderful surgeon who did the surgery.

I am a serious veteran I have been banded so long I have for gotten the date... June or July I think it was... maybe 2004 I have had Twins and lost my weight again with no complications. I can't say that I forget its there I have never had a fill put back in after my twins and I still have great restrictions. I hope that helps.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
