Had surgery in 2010.... Ups and Downs since then

[cgarcia 0]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out to others who have been where I am mentally or are where I am. A bit of a history on my story

I had surgery in May of 2010 and did great the first few months. Had many fills there after and about 2 yrs after surgery had to get almost 100% unfilled for I was pregnant and wasnt gaining any weight. after the baby roughly 6 months I went in for an adjustment. 2 years after that had 5 CC taken out as I was once again preg. bringing us to the present. I have had fills since my last child was born, but truth is I havent really felt any restriction or gotten that stuck feeling in quite some time, not that I like that feeling. I am trying to keep positive, but when I dont see numbers dropping on the scale i feel down and depressed. Like a total failure

Today I have noticed that if I gently push down on the top of my stomach above the bigger scar ( the center) I feel a tenderness almost sore feeling. Not sure what to think of it.

I have been thinking of maybe trying to get a diff surg but not sure if the Ins will cover it. I am so lost to be honest and just get even more depressed when one of my kids ask me why I have a big belly or when one of their friends ask me why I am fat. I have other health issues such as glucose intolerance, not a diabetic in any way, as well as have had some thyroid ussues,

Since my surgery I had my gall bladder removed about a year post op lap band. I have also had a few stomach issues

At this point Im wondering if I event made the right choice as Im not loosing weight and am more and more discouraged.

Can anyone give any advice?

So how much do you currently have in your band?

And what was the most you have had?

I don't have enough information to determine if your lap band has failed, but perhaps you and your physician should research your next options.

I currently have 7 CCs. the most Ive had was i think 8.5 or 9 and that was after I had my second child, even then I wasnt loosing much. When I started all of this I had asked about the CCs and control I was told that they can fill it to the point where I couldnt event hold liquids if I wanted to, of course they were being sarcastic. Truth told I have thought about it
