Good afternoon ladies. I see a few of you are having revision surgery from the lap band. Do you mind if I ask why you think it failed to work for you? I was looking into having band surgery and I’m curious. Thanks in advance.

Most doctors these days really won't do the band anymore. It does not have a high success rate and comes with a lot of complications. Mine didn't work because I got pregnant 5 months after having it. I have a friend who has it and she throws up every day, she can barely drink Water, and she had a recent endoscopy and her band has almost eaten away her stomach on the top.

Thanks for the reply. I have a few friends that have had it and have done well outside of vomiting when they eat too much. The sleeve and RNY scare me.

I had RYN and cannot be happier with my results. I have lost 57lbs in 11 weeks. No complications.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
