tagyourit 53 Posted June 22, 2016 When I had the band I always knew I could reverse it with an unfill, it seemed like I always had an escape plan. I never used it that way but it was nice to know that if one day I wanted out and to eat whatever I wanted that it was there. Unfortunately, my band had an out plan too and decided it didn't want to hang out anymore. 1 year later and with all the 160lbs I lost back I am 1 week post op on the RNY and having the same mental issues as you. It was really bad the first day or two when I could barely get down a medicine cup of Water and then thinking that it will be like this forever no escape plan. I feel better mentally each day and now that I am on pureed food it is really better. I am still stuggling with the mental part of eating and portion sizes but overall I feel good.
