DONYEIL 9 Posted February 5, 2020 Hey guys I've had my band for around 6 years now and at first I lost weight so fast hitting my goal weight was a piece of cake around 4 years ago I had all my Fluid removed because I was losing to much weight time went on and on I completely forgot that I didn't have any filling in my band now I've gained 60 pounds I was wondering if this happened to anyone and if getting a fill help with losing the weight all over again because I just dont wanna be so tight I cant eat but I need some restriction I'm like hungry all the time now and this year I wanna back track and get healthy again.

GradyCat 3,695 Posted February 5, 2020 I've learned so much from these forums. I thought lap bands were like a 9-12 month thing. I didn't know they were long-term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were supposed t be permanent although removable if a better solution came along. They are now saying they have a maximum 10- 15 year life span. 1 GradyCat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
