I was sleeved sept 10 2012 at 228 I am down 202 n I workout 4 times a week at the gym.I don't get my Water in at all n I am bad for snacking I think if I up my water (very hard to do) n cut snacking I might do better....I need a push

I had my band for 18 months.it was true hell. Couldn't eat out because of the slimming n vomiting. Only slider foods at first would go down then nothing! It was the worst 18 months. I am 12 days post op with the sleeve n just don't know for the life of me why I didn't do this first!!

I'm from south jersey and I'm having revision surgery tomorrow with dr marc neff at kennedy.I had lap band done by him there 19 months ago n everything was great! 8 hrs and counting

I am also schedule for Monday the 10 th at 9 am!!!

I am getting this band out n getting sleeved mon sept 10. I can't eat with the band total unfilled and good Protein wont go down so I eat a lot of slider foods..so glad I'm doing this! How much wt did u lose so far being sleeved?

I am sept 10 also! I am so hating liquids right now! I work with food today 12 hrs of serving realy good stuff ...I do catering so sometimes the choices arnt that hot...

Thank you for posting this I am having the same issues as to gaining weight also I have had my bad 3yrs in July 2012 I have been kind of bad though as of late working around the band using what is called a slider food.

So that being said I have since downloaded "myfitnesspal" and love' date=' love, love that app!! I am working on a 1200 cal regime I was 254 when I got banded and now at my lowest was 203 but since have gained oh about 10 lbs. I have made some major life changes since Jan 2011 and there was a yr working for a company that I totally hated and the stress nearly killed me. No longer working "unemployed" a whole different kind of stress but the stress of the job is gone.

I was to a point where I constantly had sleepless nights, major hair loss and a huge Vitamin deficiency, my cholesterol has even jumped from 206 to 221 so I once again have to make some major life changes to protect my health. I had to find a new doctor when I moved to NJ in Jan 2011 he never once checked the band not even at the 2 yr mark. So this week I changed doctors and we are due to have a barium ultra sound to see if there is anything actually wrong with the band or if I have stretched my pouch. I am also scared to death I have NEVER had one issue with this band and I hate the thought of major issues especially since my medical insurance is running out at the end of May since I lost my job.

Anyway I wish you luck and please keep me posted as to this process as it might be something I have to have done eventually. At this point I am really not sure what is going on with me and this band. We will see.

Have a great day

I sooo understand what your going thru ! i have a very hard time with meat. so i tend to do slider foods because I hate to get sick all of the time. i am not to tight.i went and got a total unfil and still couldnt eat meat. my nut says its all in my head.. i told the skinny 20 year old no i miss my meat ! I have even thought about taking my band out over the winter over it.. I work out 3 times a week and I went back to weight watchers... and i am still stuck at the same weight. I feel its me failing the band. i am taking today to reread all of my paper work from day one and start again. I had my band put in 12/13/10 69 lbs lost forver.....

Amy checking in ...still the same

I updated the chart on Sunday morning' date=' the only time I had to get to this week, you probably posted after I uploaded the chart. I will add any postings next week. Since I tend to work on the chart on the weekends if the weigh in day is on Saturday or Sunday it tends to be a week behind.[/quote']
