My cry for help



Recommended Posts

If that doctor didn't work out you can go to www.lap-band.com and they will send you a list of lapband sugeons within a set radius of your home. Hope this helps, and you are feeling better very soon. Confrats on the fantastic weightloss. ~Mandy

You've done so well with the weight loss, please give the unfill a chance to help you heal what ever the problem is.

Good Luck and big hugs!

I've been banded just over a year, too, and for the most of the year I was at 1.2cc's. It was fine but then here recently I've been PB'ing every day and often several times a day. So I just went in for a slight unfill, I am now at 1.0cc's.

I guess I'm saying is...don't think that's weird that now you need an unfill. Just get it taken care of!

I would suspect, personally, that it may also have to do with where you live now. I grew up in New Mexico and know it's very, very dry. Where you are now is more humid. I suspect your body might be hanging on to more Water which would make you feel more tight.

Also...do not underestimate how much stress will cause your band to feel tighter.

So happy to hear you are calling doctors. I think you'll be on the way in no time!!

Post back and let us know how you do!

I know that I have a ton more restriction when my allergies are acting up (like right now). I am going for a slight unfill tomorrow. I was tighter last fall too, I think my mold allergy seems to make a huge difference. I think it has something to do with mucus, swelling and my sinuses. ~Mandy

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
