gaining weight after lapband removal

[notoriousrdh 0]

Hi there, I'm Andrea and I had my lapband removed in September after complications with reflux and inability to keep anything down. I had it for just over 2 years and lost a total of 70 pounds. I'm extremely depressed. I have been gaining weight like crazy. I've gained 20 pounds. For the last 6 weeks Ive been doing weight watchers and still gaining weight. I'm eating healthier than ever. Did anyone else have such a huge weight gain? Any suggestions?

Hello, sorry you're having to go through this.

Is another surgery an option? If I had to have my band removed, I know I am still a fat girl in my head and I could not control myself.. I would end up opting for another surgery.

I agree. If I had to have my band removed, I know I would gain weight. I have already gained a little bit because I had to have some of my fill removed for the same reasons.

If I had to have my band removed, I would get the sleeve. I would take out another 2nd mortgage on my house if I had to.

Is another surgery an option for you?

Andrea - did you see a specialist to see if maybe you had a hiatial hernia or something that was causing the reflux?
