I have had my ups in having a band fitted, I lost nearly 3 stone and then my band became too tight! I had to have it losened to the point I had nothing stopping me from over eating. I have had this happen twice now within the year time scale! Which is very bad luck!

I have no willpower what so ever and had tried every diet known to man and woman! I thought that getting a band fitted it would help me in wanting to lose the weight, and help me overcome my lack of willpower! I knew it was going to be a tough ride but thought that through support and help from the company I went with I would be able to do it! But unfortunatly I have not! I have put on weight due to the band having to be losend and have got deeply depressed from this happening!:sad:

I would love to know if anyone else has suffered from the band having to be losened. A I would love to know how have you got yourself back on track with loseing weight again!

Ottilie--

I'm sorry you have a hard time. This sounds very frustrating. You don't give a lot of detail but I'm wondering if you have talked to your MD? What is the advise you have received? Do you go to any local support meetings? I'm thinking that there maybe several reason for what is happening. I think you need to talk to someone local who can really do a very good assessment of your situation. I hope you do not give up. Please see someone because I do feel that you need and deserve an answer and I think you can a solution.

Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
