I want my restriction back!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery almost 2 years ago. I have gained back 20 of the pounds I originally lost. I now officially have only lost about 15lbs from the day I had surgery. I did better on my own with the motivation of getting surgery. I actually lost over 40lbs on my own so that I could get surgery. I am filled 7.5 cc in my 10 cc band. I have no restriction and my Dr. does not want to fill my band any more until I lose more weight. I have heard if I try liquids for a week or so it will help me get some restriction back. Does any one know if this is true? If so would it be Clear Liquids as well as full liquids? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to google 5 Day Pouch Test. Also, you can find information about it on LBT. Good luck.

Thanks for the information, I will try the google search. I just have to get my mind right again, I don't know what it will take but I have to find it again!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
