Lap Band removal - average weight gain



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I had Lap Band surgery in May of 2009 - wgt 260. Then due to complications with the band it was removed in February of 2011 - wgt 170. Since then I have gained 40 lbs - wgt now 210.

I am trying to be optimistic....

Can anyone tell me if they had their band removed and how much weight they gained after?

I am not sure if this is average, above or below...

Thanks so much for the feedback.

Hi! I am considering the sleeve but terrified right now. Only because of the range of pain/issues with the sleeve that I am reading. Some people are only in the hospital one day and minimal pain and others are much longer with pain / complications. I am trying to figure out why some suffer more so than others... There is a forum on here specifically for Band to Sleeve patients. I think you would benefit by reading some of their stories. Hope that helps... Are you having issues with your band or have you just stopped losing weight?

      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...

        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.
