Hi..glad you are back on track If you don't mind, I have a few questions for you. How were you able to gain weight with a band? How are you now able to lose so much? Is it all about the fills. I was just banded today.

Hi 2911plans,

Congratulations on your surgery I hope u r feeling well :smile:

well I lost all that weight in a year I had all my fills and it is all about the fills and not introducing any bad food or drinks to your diet because one u introduce something it gets easier to fall off the wagon and I did everything the way it was suppose to be done except working out, which I recommend everyone to do from the very beginning do as much as u can because u lose so much weight in such a little time.

The way I was able to gain weight was because when I lost all that weight I started eating in a way which abused my band by drinking and eating at the same time and all I ate was fatty and high sugar food and I gained all that weight back very slowly (over 2 years)

Wow! I was not aware you could gain with the band. Thanks for informing me. Did you go back and get a fill to lose again or you decided to eat right again? It is never too late to get healthy. I wish you well.

      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.
