Weight gain

[Melinda03086 0]

I had my lapband removed in March I have been steadily gaining weight and my stomach is extended I am seeing a GI dr to get me to have a stool movement and they put me on meds for it. I’m still eating really healthy and working out but so depressed on the weight gain I had my Lapband in for 13 years had it removed because of slippage and other issues my legs is gotten so big from Water retention how long does it take for me to get back to normal. I just had a lot of blood work done to see what is going on and the dr said my numbers are actually fantastic and I’m in perfect health but he is even confused on the weight gain

I had my band removed in April 2023 and began to gain weight immediately. I was suddenly able to eat Breakfast again, so I did! I am having RNY in June (6 weeks after the band removal), and my surgeon was upfront that the vast majority of patients who have their bands removed will unfortunately regain at least some weight since the stomach is almost back to its pre-band state without restriction.

Are your calories the same before and after the band removal?
