Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 1,004 Posted December 23, 2017 Don’t know about normal, but when my band malfinctioned and was emptied, I gained back 2/3 of my lost weight. The band helped me lose weight and was great - but once it wasn’t doing its job, the old me habits were just there waiting to emerge! I just had mine removed, revision to a bypass. Best of luck on YOUR journey... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
