Having problems losing weight



Recommended Posts

HI, I was banded in June of 08. I did really great and lost 100 lbs. In Nov of 11 I had a fill but a few days later I was hit with a bug and had to go to the hospital due to being dehydrated. I was seen by 2 interns who insisted I had to have my fill taken out. I kept saying it didn't have to be done, if they felt they had to take some out, just take what the fill amount I just had. but they didn't listen and emptied my band. Since then I have gained 30 lbs I'm stuck at the weight I am now, haven't lost or gained anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Help what can I do to get back to my goal weight... Kim

Get filled back up. Is that possible? That is probably what is going to get you back on track. Good luck.

Hi Kim, did you not follow up with your aftercare team after they unfilled you?

I'd say its time to get back in contact with your team and discuss what needs to be done to help get you back to where you need to be with your band.

I have had fills, I go every 6 weeks. I am at the point I can't have anymore fills, I can't keep anything down if I'm filled more then 7. I never expected to not loose anything once I was at max.
