Hi everyone! Thought I'd let ya'll know that I have a leak in my band, UGH!!!. I've been thinking I had a leak for over a year now. It's a slow one, but it's getting worse. I went to get a fill yesterday and I was missing 1.5cc (in a 4 week span). This explains why I am able to eat like a cow after only a week of restriction following my fills. I go back in 2 weeks to measure again and then I'll know more.

They added 2 cc's yesterday, so I am pretty tight right now. Looks like I'll be on liquids a while.

Hope everyone has a good day!

That's what happened to mine, it was just a slow leak, but it would drive me crazy because I would loose a little weight then gain it back and even extra. I had my port and tube replaced in July of this year. I have had better restriction then I ever did. I don't even remember having this kind of restriction after getting the band in the beginning. It's a real easy surgery, easier and quicker then the whole band surgery. The hard part is the months that they like to take to figure out if it's really a leak, and then of course getting approval with the insurance company to replace the leaking parts. You'll be fine, and my thoughts are with you.

Thanks confused! Your leak was in the tubing? I'm not sure where mine is. I hope the whole band doesn't have to be replaced! I just hope they can do it soon...I'm tired of this!

Hi all!! Im having a bit of a mental issue with my eating... I feel like while I still eat way less than I used to, and now eat more than I should but I have always sort of fealt that way since I got the band.

I eat yougurt for Breakfast every morning..no matter what

for lunch its usually a chicken wrap thats 240 calories. sometimes I eat 1/2 sometimes I eat the whole thing

Then dinner is usually meat and veggies of some sorts.

I guess I don't personally know anyone who has had the band. At my last appointment I lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks so they did not do a fill. I wish they would have as I feel like my eating is out of control. Although I never snack for some reason it just feels bad. He put me out another 6 weeks and said if I lost another 7-10 lbs he would leave it. Does anyone else ever feel this way?? This was such a great chance...an opportunity to have it be different and I don't want to fail :cursing:

My leak was in the port, but they had to shorten my tube and reposition it and the new port because of other problems that I once had in the past.

Jr64, I think you are doing great. In 4 weeks ,7 lbs=1 1/2-2 lbs a week. You won't fail. I wish I was doing that good. I'm good if I lose that in 2 months.

:sad:

Someone on this site sent me the Wendys chili clone..I use ground turkey instead of beef and do not add the hot peppers

should I post it here or will email to whomever wants it

I also use salsa added to my chili sometimes

Bought some salsa at costco not the one that makes mango...one that was with the coupon ....ugh.. gave it away.. we use salsa in this home..but this brand was foul... gave it to mil...she eats anything

I would love the wendy clone recipe for the winter since i am so addicted to wendys chili...thanksso much

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
